Not formally, not yet, but CNN reported what I typed, I didn't pull it out of the air. CNN report was that Kerry and Obama had been in contact, and Obama was in facvor of the democratically elected government, i.e., Erdogen, and by extension, he is against the military.
The President spoke tonight by phone with Secretary of State John Kerry to discuss the events in Turkey. The President and Secretary agreed that all parties in Turkey should support the democratically-elected Government of Turkey, show restraint, and avoid any violence or bloodshed. The Secretary underscored that the State Department will continue to focus on the safety and security of U.S. citizens in Turkey. The President asked the Secretary to continue to keep him updated as the situation unfolds
