CNN has an easy coup. Other news sites have different stories.

By:
This does not seem to be going to plan IMO
The President and Prime Minister still able to speak to media, no curfew. This is not how to do this. Maybe the plotters not do strong. Either way I expect thousands dead by tomorrow afternoon. |

By:
So they seem to have belatedly announced a curfew.
Reports that Mosques telling people to defy it and come out on the streets. |

Seems like Erdogan still has the Air force and is flying into Istanbul.
Looks like coup going to fail |
|
By:
Erdogan is back in Istanbul. It's looking like a failed coup that was badly misjudged and orchestrated.

By:
Erdogan making a statement now saying this was an act of treason and those responsible will pay a heavy price and this is a reason to clean up the army.
|

By:
"reason to clean up the army"
Hitler and Stalin I'm sure used very similar terms. In fact Stalin I think said it more often than "give me vodka". |

Seems its a bit fake all this
