On Friday night, a military coup erupted in Turkey as an army group announced via State television that a “peace council” had taken over the government and martial law had been imposed in the country.
Foreign media reported that there were tanks and soldiers in the streets while heavy gunfire and explosions were heard at several government building in country’s capital, Ankara which killed 80 people.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who wasn’t in the country when the coup started, urged his supporters to go into the streets and protest against the attempted overthrow of a democratically elected government. At the end, the voice of the people was far stronger than any weapon the military had in the world!
