Military Attempts Coup in Turkey, Prime Minister Says

STANBUL — The prime minister of Turkey said on Friday night that factions of the military had attempted a coup. There were sharply conflicting statements about who was in control of the country, a NATO member and important United States ally, which has been convulsed by military takeovers at least three times over the past half-century.

“Some people illegally undertook an illegal action outside of the chain of command,” Prime Minister Binali Yildirim said in comments broadcast on NTV, a private television channel. “The government elected by the people remains in charge. This government will only go when the people say so.”

Shortly after Mr. Yildirim spoke, the Turkish military issued a statement, according to the news agency DHA, claiming it had taken control of the country.

“Turkish armed forces seized the rule of the country completely with the aim of reinstalling the constitutional order, democracy, human rights and freedoms, to make rule of law pervade again, to re-establish the ruined public order,” the statement quoted by DHA said. “All the international agreements and promises are valid. We hope our good relations with all global countries goes on.”

The state-run Anadolu News Agency said hostages had been taken at military headquarters in Ankara, the capital, including the chief of staff.

that is pure naked OBAMA and his CIA!!!!!!

Turkey swung back to Russia and was ending the war in Syria.  Obama cud not tolerate dat.

where is Erdogan ::confused::

he is prolly dead.  that is the first thng they wud want to do..KILL Erdogan. 

Erdogan shud have seen dat coming.  he was able to prevail in Turkey in the first place because Obama and Bush before made the Turkish military stand down. 

the Turkish military is a  wholly owned subsidiary of the USA elites.  they would not let go control of it even if they made them stand down so the civilian government cud get going under Erdogan.

Erdogan shud have seen it coming and protect himself
