Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Wednesday evening declared a three-month state of emergency following last week's failed coup, Sky News reported.
In a speech in which he announced the state of emergency, Erdogan warned there "may be more plans" from dissidents to try and overthrow the government again.
He added that the state of emergency was in order to "take the most efficient steps in order to remove this threat as soon as possible, which is a threat to democracy, to the rule of law, and to the rights and freedoms of citizens in our country".
Earlier, noted Sky News, the Turkish President had suggested in an interview that foreign countries may have been involved in last week's attempted putsch.

Funny how when blacks shoot cops here, the police need to change. When a supposed coup attempt is made in Turkey, the coup plotters are to blame. Like Rush says, Obama always sides with the most extreme group. In this case, Erdogan.
Turkey-manufactured firearms will become cheaper.
Always look for the silver lining!
Oh I am sure there are “more plans”.
Good gosh.
No botched coup. He did this. Tukish word for Fuhrer is Erdogan....
NEW DISCOVERY: Erdogan Is Now Reviving The Religion Of The Antichrist That Will Enable The Islamic Mahdi To Declare “I Am God!”
December 19, 2014
EXCERPT:
So lets begin the very interesting journey. Well, to start off with, for several months now, we revealed through several articles the necessity to focus that the future Antichrist as most likely being Turkish and specifically an adherer of Sufi Islam. But even more specifically on November 28th we stated that he would be magnatized to the specific teaching of the famous Sufi mystic Jalal al-Din Rumi. We concluded this crucial issue since Sufi Islam adheres to a theology called Fana in which man can declare himself to being God which is the signatute of none other than Rumi’s theology. How else can Antichrist declare himself “I am God”?
So low and behold this Wednesday December 17th, 11 days later after we presented our findings, Erdogan of Turkey revealed his fascination with, you guessed it, none other than whom we predicted: Jalal al-Din Rumi.
This is extremely significant. Erdogan wants to warrant himself major titles and he will never be able to do so unless he finds a theological justification within the theology of Islam which at face value rejects that man can be deified. But imbedded within Islam, the act of a man declaring “I am God,” is in fact an Islamic belief, and is right in line with what St. Paul warned about, a verse which mystified theologians from time immemorial, that the Antichrist “as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.” (2 Thessalonians 2:4). The reason Islam zigzags in this theology is simple: to reject the deity of Christ but only insert this hidden theology when necessary to become Antichrist; to deny the essence of who Christ is and at the same time to replace Christ.
We in fact even illustrated, before Erdogan’s coming out of the closet this very issue, by quoting the most infamous of Islamic Sufi writers, Rumi, when he wrote of how the goal of the Sufi is to become divine via Fana:
Remember the famous utterance of al-Hallaj, “I am God.” People think that to say “I am God” is a claim of great pretense and spiritual arrogance. It is actually a claim of extreme humility. “I am God” means “I do not exist.” He is all, everything is He, existence is God’s alone. I am without existence, pure non-existence. I am nothing.” “I am God” is not a claim of great pretension, it is a claim of extreme humility. There is more humility in this than any supposed claim to greatness, but people do not understand the inner meaning. When a man acknowledges his servitude to God, he is aware of his being a servant. He may see himself as a devoted servant of God, but he still sees himself and his own actions as apart from the one reality of God. He is not drowned in the Ocean of Divine Unity. Drowned is he in whom there is not separate motion or mobility. Drowned is he whose movement is the movement of the water. And so it is with the enlightenment ones, those who declares, “I am God.” Anyone who says “I am the servant of God” asserts the reality of two existences, one for himself and the other for God. But he who says “I am God” — and has realized the deepest levels of unity within his being — has seen through the illusion of his existence. He knows from the experience of unity that his own separate existence is nothing but an illusion. Knowing that, he casts its former selfhood upon the winds of oblivion. (Rumi, Hearts bear witness one to another, in The Complete Discourses of Jalal al-Din Rumi, discourse 11, p. 75, ed. Louis Rogers)
This is the first time in history that this connect was made and now, it is no surprise to us that this Wednesday, the president of Turkey, Erdogan, praised Rumi’s work, revealing that he himself is not only Sufi but that he also believes in Fana “the art annihilation and becoming God himself”. Why else would Erdogan praise Rumi’s work The Masnavi, saying “A work can live for more than seven centuries only if it is written with love”. The Masnavi is amongst Rumi’s most popular works, and it is in this very book that the idea of man becoming divine is adulated. He praises the Sufi declaration “I am the Truth!” saying, “Mansur’s ‘I am the Truth!’ was purest light” (Masnavi, 2.307, trans. Mojaddedi)
When Christ said “I am The Truth” He was declaring Himself to be God Almighty. Likewise in Sufi Islam, this also exists, yet mimicing Christ. In Sufi Islam for one to exclaim, “I am the Truth,” is to say “I am God!”
Biden eats popcorn?
Damn. All Americans out of there, now. Turkey is going to get a lot worse for a while at least. Will Turkey still be in NATO in a few months’s time?
Allahu Akhbar!
I’ve never thought of Rumi as evil.
This is the kind of thing we need the CIA to take care of, sneak in and liquidate this megalomaniac with access to nuclear weapons.
Erodgan said his efforts to detain those involved, or suspend them from their positions, is far from over.
How stupid or terrified are those supporting this man?
We did? We refused extradition?? Just got home from work and have not checked any news but here...
2000 of our military at the base...Makes me ill.
He expects to have Complete Control in only 3 months
Not going to happen for the reason being is that Americans are ARMED.
But I thought the Antichrist had to be a Jew in order for Jews to follow him? I thought the Jewish temple had to be rebuilt. Which branch of Islam is going to allow that? I thought the European Union forming was a sign from the book of Daniel? I thought it was Catholicism and the Pope was the antichrist?
People trying to extrapolate from the Bible their ideas has been going on for quite some time. It got old years ago. Now personally, I believe Islam to be straight from the bowels of hell but every time you turn around some one is trying to pick out the Antichrist based on trying to twist the Bible into lining up with the headlines of the day.
There was no coup.
The Kurds and his other political opponents did not fall for the phony coup set up.
But they will all be terrorized by Barry Hussiens fellow Muslim brotherhood monster.
