ISTANBUL – Turkey's military announced on Friday night that the army had taken over “the entire management of the country to restore rule of law” as the country's prime minister admitted an “attempt” by a group within the military while falling short of calling the attempt a military coup.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, speaking by cell phone to CNN Turk from an unknown location, vowed that Turkey would "overcome this invasion" and called on Turks to "gather in squares and see what this minority can do with their tanks and artillery against the people."
"Throughout history those who make coups have been unsuccessful, and I absolutely believe that these will be unsuccessful as well," Erdogan said, adding that the architects of the takeover attempt "will absolutely pay the price for this in heaviest manner."

‘Bout time...
Payback from Putin?
Erdogan = ISIS
So I guess anything is better than him.
Maybe they’ll be a huge civil war and they’ll all kill themselves off.
Hopefully it will be a “known” location soon.
And he will be sent to meet his 1 72 year old virgin.
Wishful lying on the part of Erdogan here. Historically, as many coups have succeeded as have failed. I am praying for the Turkish military. Erdogan is a real islamist skunk.
King Barack is not going to approve of this!
- Tyrannical militant muslim comes into power.
- Begins to Fundamentally Transform the nation.
- Military ousts the tyrant!
Imagine that!
Maybe our military could learn something from the Turks.
Obama backed Erdogan TO THE HILT.
EVERYTHING the man touches turns to absolute SH*T..!!!
Will this help plug the 80 mile wide hole in the border some news people have been talking about that is an ingress for terroist?..Not CNN or MSNBC
All Muslims are the same!
(There is nothing unique/special about the words "radical Islam", "Nation of Islam," "Isis" !!! It is just "Islam!
Bttt.
5.56mm
Sounds like they’re celebrating in Turkey a lot of happy people there procoup!!!!!YES!
Turkey is just another Pakistan, but in Europe, in every way: from Sunni/wahabis to being our “close ally”, heaped with all the aid we can give. Coups and military control has always been part of Turkey. The West - NATO - simply don’t want to believe it.
Most certainly!!! ;-)
Maduro, you’re next.
They have not had a coup in over 40 years.
Nope, just the military fulfilling it’s constitutional role as protector of secular government. I just heard Krauthammer say that in the beginning of August all the top military offices were due to be re-appointed by Erdogan. They acted before he could put Islamists into the top positions. Now or never.
