Turks foil coup bid
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan urged Turks to remain on the streets on Saturday, as his forces regained control after a coup bid by discontented soldiers that claimed more than 250 lives.
Ankara: President Recep Tayyip Erdogan urged Turks to remain on the streets on Saturday, as his forces regained control after a coup bid by discontented soldiers that claimed more than 250 lives.
After hours of chaos and violence unseen in decades, Erdogan ended uncertainty over his whereabouts, flying into Istanbul airport in the early hours where he was cheered by hundreds of supporters.
"The situation is completely under control," Prime Minister Binali Yildirim said outside his Ankara offices, flanked by Turkey's top general.
Erdogan used his Twitter feed to urge people onto the streets, warning against a new flare-up after the most dramatic challenge to his 13 years of dominant rule.
"We should keep on owning the streets tonight no matter at what stage (the coup attempt is) because a new flare-up could take place at any moment," he said.
