Ook op Reuters, BBC World en Die Welt.

Hoog tijd.

Op Twitter lees ik dit:

:clapping: voor het Turkse leger! Laat Rutte, Merkel & Co Erdo maar mee naar huis nemen na Mongolie.

Leger is idd geen echte fan van Erdogan.

Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim said a military coup attempt is currently underway and that military action has been taken without a chain of command, according to local media NTV.

Yildirim reportedly said that the actions are only being taken by part of the military, adding that security forces are doing what is necessary to resolve the situation.

Gunshots were heard in the Turkish capital of Ankara on Friday, a Reuters witness said, as military jets and helicopters were seen flying overhead.

Reuters witnesses in Istanbul, Turkey's biggest city, also spotted military jets and helicopters overhead, as well as tanks in the streets.

Broadcaster NTV reported that both of Istanbul's bridges across the Bosphorus, the strait separating the European and Asian sides of the city, had been closed to traffic.

It was not immediately clear if the events were related.

Hopelijk wordt idioot Erdogan nooit meer terug binnengelaten in Turkije, kan hij blijven waar hij nu is, is ie op z'n plaats.

Er zou tevens geschoten worden. (The Telegraph)

Ik hoop dat ze Erdo afzetten.

Turkey would never allow any "initiative that would interrupt democracy", he said, and promised the perpetrators "will pay the highest price".

Zal wel voor veel meer onrust zorgen in de gehele regio.

Niet als het leger het overneemt. Dit zou wel eens een gamechanger voor Assad kunnen betekenen en tevens het einde van IS.

Explosies en vuurgevechten worden nu gemeld.

'Internet in Ankara has been cut'

There are reports that the internet in Ankara has been cut.

British journalist Liz Cookman says she is in the embassy in the capitol and that there are rumours of a coup.

Writing on Twitter as events unfold, she said: “Rumour is a shooting at the General staff in Ankara. Source says a coup - not sure the truth in that.

“Embassy staff saying ‘serious’. Multiple sources saying coup.

“Official UNHCR email to my friend who works there says “coup ongoing” go home immediately.”

Ik denk een mislukte coup, voor zover de media nu berichten.

Het Turkse leger bevestigt zonet de machtsovername:

Turkish military says it has taken over

The Turkish military has issued a statement saying it has taken over.

The military says all existing foreign relations will continue.

“The rule of law must remain a priority,” they added.

Maar het gehele leger ?
Zijn toch onrustbarende ontwikkelingen daar en een staatsgreep is daar meerdere keren voortgekomen in het verleden.

Iemand die beweert in naam van het leger te spreken alvast.

Burgemeester roept burgers op het uitgangsverbod te negeren.

Mayor of Ankara calls people out to the streets despite 'military curfew'

“@06JAnk: Mayor of Ankara calls for “everyone to the streets”: not necessarily good advice. https://t.co/BAYBh6s2Tf” Why?

— Carles Flores (@FloresCarles) July 15, 2016


The mayor of Ankara has reportedly called people out into the streets in defiance of a curfew, suggesting trouble could erupt imminently.

The mayor of the capital tweeted for residents to ‘hit the street’.

Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim said those responsible for what he described as an attempted coup by a faction within the military would pay the highest price.
