There is an ongoing coup in Turkey with the military attempting to take over and many details unclear. This is an ongoing event that could result in a successful coup, a crushing of the rebellion or the worst case scenario: a civil war. Update: Turkey: Coup seems to have failed – will safe haven flows be undone? Turkish coup reports Apparently tanks are in the streets of Ankara and perhaps Istanbul as well. Military aircraft has been heard flying above. The Istanbul Ataturk Airport, which recently suffered a terror attack, has been reportedly closed to flights. There are more conflicting reports about who the insurgents are: is it a small group or a big group within the army? They are taking over the TRT TV station but they clearly do not control all media. The Turkish PM gave an interview reporting the coup and saying those responsible will be punished. Here are some statements from the military: Turkish Armed Forces have completely taken over the administration of the country to reinstate constitutional order, human rights and freedoms, the rule of law and general security that was damaged. All international agreements are still valid. We hope that all of our good relationships with all countries will continue. Turkish (outgoing?) President Erdogan has spoken to CNN Turk via a mobile phone using Skype and denounced the move of a “small group” within the military. Erdogan speaks via Skype to CNN Turk.
