What?
The Turkish Army has taken over over control of Turkey today, in what seems like a completely unexpected coup, the coup supposedely involves substantial amount of military personalles and not just a few officers.
Why?
As per the announcer who read out the statements made by the Military, the reason given for the coup is, "Turkey's democratic and secular rule of law has been eroded by the current government."
The military has also added that Turkey will be ruled by "Peace council", that will ensure the safety of all population, and a new constitution will be drafted soon."
How?
The Turkish Army has captured all strategic points, and have blocked all roads and bridges in Istanbul, airports are blocked by tanks, and Turkish jets are said to be flying over the city monitoring all activity.
And so
President Erdogan's location is unknown, but he contacted the people of Turkey via a television channel that broadcasted his conversation through skype, he promised that he is still in control and will punish everyone who is responsible for the coupe. He has also asked people of Turkey to come out in the streets to protest against the Army.
