CONFIRMED: Full-Blown Military Coup in Turkey; UPDATE: Coup Over? | 15 JULY 2016 | While there are reports of sporadic confrontations between pro-coup forces and protestors, it appears as if the coup has failed. Explosions have rocked the parliament building, injuring 12 people.
Turkish state television–TRT–is back on the air.
CNN Turk said that the anchor that read the coup plotters statement did so at gunpoint.
Government officials are back in their offices, though there are some reports that parliament members are still in hiding.
CNN’s Anderson Cooper and others were noting that not taking the Turkish president and prime minister into custody at the start of this action seems to be failing “coup 101.”
Still the situation is tenuous, but it looks as if the coup plotters are not going to be successful. Based on reports, President Erdogan is back in Istanbul after his requests for asylum were denied in Germany.
