Horrifying mess this. An anti Erdogan military coup coupled with Erdogan himself urging his supporters to take to the streets and basically confront the military? Is he serious?
Erdogan is one thing and yeah he's as corrupt as they come but you could cause a civil war this way. It's a country split. As above there's sources floating around of the military firing upon civilians. Wants rid of dictator. Shoots at Civilians to do so. Doesn't quite come off does it.
There's no good to come from this at all if the above is confirmed.
Civilians have now taken control of tanks. Clashes between soldiers and civillians ongoing and now confirmed.

Tanks are now pancaking cars as gunshots reign out in Istanbul. Turkey is now basically a Warzone.
General intelligence building blown up.
Appearances on TV by commanders confirm this isn't a full out military coup and is limited it seems. No clue who is spearheading it.
If there is loyal military remaining surely that is a better option than sending your civilian public to stand in front on tanks.
