To me, I'm wondering if the timing post market close was done by:

"Middle management military coup" leaders to avoid spooking global markets and evoke a quick sympathetic international response IF successful.

And/or

By Erdogan's team or Erdogan aligned factions to create a "Reichstag Fire" to allow for greater authoritarian crackdown conducted over the non-trading weekend to evoke involuntary support and/or reduce resistance from western trading partners.
