So it's Erdogone now? Hope there won't be any casualties resulting from this, there's been too many lately.

And I've also heard that they're currently making a new constitution.

I really hope that Erdoğan has to face the same consequences as Morsi (Egypt) or Ceauşescu (Romania). ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Erdogan deserved to get booted out, I just wonder what is to come afterwards and if it's going to go in a direction of radicalisation or europeanisation.

Turkish military is secular and has stepped in on multiple occasions whenever there have been threats or misuse of power but it's not clear what section is responsible or what the motives are

Erdogan tried to land in Constantinople, but his request got declined, and he's trying to land in Germany.

I'm not a fan of Erdoğan and I wouldn't be heartbroken if something unfortunate happened to him. But my main concern is that the Turkish people don't end up suffering - I wish them the best.

Turkish army is more liberal and close to West while Erdogan is helping islamists etc.After what happened yesterday they decided to take over for that reason.

NEWS:
Military took over the TRT ( Turkish National TV Channel ), and made an announcement saying this was a COUP and those who are responsible for the misguidance of government will be judged and people will be kept safe at all costs.
Military declared curfew.
And our president Erdogan said everyone should go to streets to show military how we should protect our government. It looks like he is trying to start a civil war.
Also ATM's are going down one by one, everyone is trying to withdraw money right now and I only have 5$ cash.
Soldiers and F16's are fighting with POLICE of the country (Police is known for their loyalty to the government, most people call them "government's dogs"). I saw a jet spraying in front of the palace.
I'll keep you posted but internet is extremely slow and it can go down in any minute. I just hope it succeeds, it's the only chance of this country ...

Hey i am sorry for what is happening to your country. Do you wish for Erdogan to go down eventually i have many turkey friends in wow and they talk shit about him atm i cant find any online to ask waht is going on... any civilians got injured ?

There is some news about a civilan got hurt trying to enter to TRT. And a helicopter take shots to TRT.

Not yet, every Erdoğan supporting channel is saying everyone should go to streets to stop soldiers. There are videos of bearded islamic ignorants jumping over the tanks, soldiers are extremely careful not to hurt anyone even though they DO hurt the soldiers.
Erdoğan literally calls everyone upon to attack the soldiers, he never cares about the safety of civilians.

i am worried for my friends 3 of them live at Instabul where the events started and 4 of them at your capital dunno if they are near where Erdogan lives or not but i was online in the guild with them when they all went down
Comment has been collapsed.
It's mostly on Ankara, our capital where the ministers are. The military would never harm innocents unless they attack them so everyone seems safe for now. Ironically, Erdoğan supporters attacked some reporters in Istanbul because they "support" military though they were from a channel known for their loyalty to the government.
Those who stay in home should be safe, just don't go outside.

I am sure they are smart enough to stay home and since they hate the Erdogan they wouldnt go out to fight for him Thanks m8 i was worried a lot

Honestly that was my first thought, "What kind of leader uses civilians as pawns to protect his power so directly?" Too many throughout history I'm afraid :/ He ought to have told everyone to stay indoors or shelters somewhere...not run out into the streets and get caught in a crossfire of the military and govt/police forces >.>
Stay safe friends.

He's connecting to TV programs with Skype Video, from an extremely safe area and saying everyone should go to streets and attack soldiers to regain our democracy.
He doesn't care about the safety of civilians at all, he counts on them getting hurt so he can use it against the military to gain more support.

Ironically, the last time the Turkish nation came together at squares, Edogan sent the police on them and had them beat down

Hes actually sending people out to get killd ... literally .
Knowing how people have been on edge past months cause of the constant bombings ... just a little confrontation can turn really ugly .

The world is going to shit lately ... Terrorists bombings isis ... now that shit .
I feel like there has been more bad shit happening in the past 3-4 years compared to the whole 90s ...
And things seem to only get worse .
Tho to be fair , Erdogan losing his position may not be a bad thing ...

It's sad to say & maybe a bit soon but it's something the world has to go trough. 10-30 years from now this moment we live in will be viewed as a shift in geopolitical power. Since technology has spread around the globe trough internet, cellphones, advanced transport etc., the countries that were dominant before have been losing international power & some countries that were powerless/exploited in the past seem to be catching up with the rest of us. I'm quite sure eventually we'll know who was behind Isis & all this chaos around the globe because of our advancement in technology false flags are easily debunked trough evidence. The only thing I fear is that in the not so distant future all of this will lead to racism & discrimination & it's being spread rapidly trough social media just as the Isis ideology.

Pretty much that ...
He is literally forcing them to go outside and get killed so he can use that as PR against the military ....

But is the country divided? Because I know alot of Turkish ppl that support Erdogan, but I can't imagine starting a coup without the peoples support.

There is MASSIVE oposition to Erdogan in turkey as far as i know ... but they censor the media to make it look like a minor thing ...
Turkey lately is almost as bad as North Korea , when it comes to freedom of speech ...

I find it hard to believe it's "massive" opposition. Censoring media happens everywhere tho, you just don't hear it about your own country. ;) #FreeAssange

Please try Steam, Snapchat and WhatsApp apparently they are still up in Turkey. If you have any friends you know in Turkey urge them to stay indoors and stay safe through those, no matter what you believe in, the first responsibility you have is to yourself and your loved ones. Please stay safe ♥♥♥

They doesn't have the support from army, Turkish Army Force says they are small group, and all those Martial Law reports are fake. Also, coup only in 2 city? They won't succeed and this will be only bad for us, Turkish people. I hope everything will be settled soon.

Atm it can be vague to separate lies from truths in official statements, i hope civilians wont suffer at all no matter what the outcome is

Indeed, even if they won't succeed we will be badly affected from this situation (economy so on) . I hope there will be no casualties

It won't be bad for the Turkish people. They will endure and prosper as always.
It will be bad for the Arab lovers though.

Citizens responded to Erdoğan's call, they're all on the streets military falls back in order to keep civilians safe. Military isn't well-organized, everywhere is AKP members (Erdoğan's party supporters), it looks like military is falling back.
Military removed the soldiers from Atatürk Airport. There seems to be massive organizational errors and everyone says coup won't succeed. It'd end up in a bloodbath if it fails ...

Now this looks like a big play for the goverment. They will take what they want from now on probably.
