Summary Now: Situation seems to be mostly resolved. Prime minister arriving in capital. Still chaotic, but seems to be improved. Turkish Intelligence has released a statement saying the coup itself is over. Previously Military coup or illegal action attempted to overthrow current government. Several central infrastructural points such as highways, bridges, etc, under military control. Current government claims coup will fail, military claims it has succeeded. Social media access restricted or blocked. Lots of unknown factors - Messy situation with a lot of conflicting information.

Fulgura Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 ^ Interesting move. Anyway, the azan is recited by Erdogan's 'indirect' order from every mosque in Turkey, and called his electors on streets (that was a call for civil war i think.). I have to add, there's no 'midnight azan' in Islam. So it's an odd (and illegal) thing. Everything was on TV, everyone who 'had to be captured' was on TV, on phones. I don't know how that was a 'take over'. There's clashes going on right now between the 'part of the army' and police in several important locations, those bullets and dead/dying people are the only real thing in this situation. Everything else, including 'take over' thing is a lie. Source: me, who is living in a touristic region in Turkey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
