You are. Turkey is indeed a 'democracy of sorts'. It has been getting less democratic recently, but that doesn't make it a dictatorship. A coup, on the other, can never be democratic.

There is a spectrum to democracy. Switzerland (with its referenda, localism, and numerous elections) is technically more democratic than the UK (with its unelected upper chamber, unrepresentative voting system, and highly centralised government). That doesn't make the UK undemocratic.

Same with Turkey.
