You've picked an article dated May 10 for a coup that happened on 15 July. Are you saying that this is the reason for the coup?

If so, the gist of the article is that Turkish border guards shot at Syrian asylum seekers along the mutual border. Turkey also is accused of human rights abuses against Kurds inside Turkish borders.

Bad stuff. But UN criticism is not limited to Turkey. For example, the UN accuses the US of breaking the law in numerous respects, most recently involving Iran.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us.
"
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
