Erdogan calls people onto streets on CNN Turk via mobile phone, says ‘will overcome’ coup
Turkey's president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, appeared live on CNN Turk via FaceTime on the presenter’s cell phone, saying the ongoing military coup in the country “will be overcome” and calling on people to protest.
Erdogan has urged the nation to come out to the "squares and airports," saying that no force can stand the power of the people.
Reassuring the audience that he still is the president of Turkey and its commander-in-chief, Erdogan has described the situation as an attempted uprising by a minority in the army.
Part of the military is attempting a coup in Turkey, the country’s Prime Minister Binali Yıldırım said, following reports of military jets and helicopters flying low over Ankara and Istanbul.
A military helicopter has reportedly opened fire in the district of Ankara, where the Turkish National Intelligence Organization headquarters is situated.
According to Yıldırım, Turkish security forces are currently doing what needs to be done to resolve the situation.
Shooting is being reported in the Turkish capital, Ankara, with military jets and helicopters seen in the sky above the city.
According to reports on Twitter, the authorities have closed the two Bosporus bridges in Istanbul, where military jets have also been spotted flying.

Differentemente dal solito, vogliamo fare un sunto dei filmati che hanno riguardato il tragico attacco a Nizza di questa notte. Non è mettendo milioni di clips in rete che si può generare interesse o coinvolgimento pubblico per avvenimenti gravi. Noi riteniamo corretto che ora non si pubblichino più i filmati con i cadaveri di chi ha lasciato questa vita senza chiederlo. La pubblica opinione ha già visto cosa può essere accaduto a persone innocenti. Ora occorre reagire con fermezza ad ogni possibile assalto, anche mediatico, perchè il nemico usa ora il web per diffondere il male. Il vostro supporto ci gratifica in questo. Le nostre condoglianze sincere e profonde alle famiglie delle persone decedute a Nizza.
Unlike the usual, we want to make a summary of the movies that have covered the tragic attack in Nice last night. It is not putting millions of clips in web that you can generate interest or public involvement for serious events. We believe that now is the correct time, to not publish more movies with the corpses of those who have departed this life without asking. The public has already seen what has happened to innocent people. Now we need to react firmly to any possible attack, even mediatic, because the enemy now uses the web to spread its evil. Your support in this gratifies us. Our sincere and deep condolences to the families of deceased persons in Nice.
