    Erdogan is very much taking out his political opposition here. The reason western media is happy about it is cause they think that if he falls then they could install somebody more liberal in his place. The west has had a rocky relationship with Erdogan for a while now. The west needs Turkey because of strategic sea access, and Turkey knows this and they milk it for all they can.
