Turkey coup attempt

Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim on Friday evening said that a group within Turkey’s military had attempted to overthrow the government and security forces had been called in to “do what is necessary.”

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