What we know
Updated
At Numune hospital, the largest in Ankara, hundreds of wounded people have been brought for treatment, my colleague Kareem Shaheen reports.
Cagri, a 29-year-old, was wounded by shrapnel when a military helicopter fired at loyalist security forces in his neighborhood of Kazan. “We just panicked,” he said.
A friend of his who was 2 miles away died in the fire from helicopter machine guns, he said. A taxi driver nearby grabbed him and took him to the hospital, where he had to lie down outside waiting to be treated because of the huge crowds of victims seeking help. Another friend lost his hand, Cagri said, his own shrapnel wounds in his chest and leg, bandaged. He added that has lost all feeling in his injured thigh.
Osman Konmaz, an EMT, said he treated between 350 to 400 people in the attack’s aftermath. He described the most heartbreaking cases he saw: one man who lost his leg after it was run over by a tank, and another when he saw the body of a man who was crushed by a tank controlled by the coup plotters.
“There was no humanity in any of this,” he said. Most of the injuries he saw were wounds from shrapnel or bullets. He said the incident took a grave psychological toll, and was even worse than the attack in Ankara last October by Isis that targeted a peace rally.
“This was the worst massacre I’ve ever witnessed,” he said, before alluding to a bombing months earlier. “At least October 10 was terror by a terrorist group, but this was done by our own military.”
Meanwhile people continued to gather at Kizilay Square, where prime minister Binali Yildirim is set to speak to the crowds.
People have started amassing in the streets and squares of Ankara, my colleague Kareem Shaheen reports from Kizilay Square, which is awash in waves of red Turkish flags.
There’s a carnival like atmosphere and a couple thousand protesters in Ankara’s Kizilay square, celebrating the coup’s defeat. Under towering portraits of President Erdogan that declare “we own democracy.”
Protesters are chanting “the martyrs will not die, the country won’t be divided,” “God is great,” and praising Erdogan amid music and jubilant flag waving. One chant said: “There is no left or right wing, only Ankara, the last castle.”
Ahmet, a 23-year-old protester, said he came to the demonstrations to stand alongside the elected president, saying he had also joined civilians who marched upon the presidential palace last night against the military.
“We are here together against it, and if they try a second time, we will stay here,” he said
A young couple who requested anonymity said they saw their presence as a defence of the homeland.
“They tried to divide our country,” said the man. “This is about our homeland and we will die for it, and they shot at us with their helicopters and their jets flew over our heads.”
The couple urged greater cooperation between Turkey’s political factions, saying the whole country was “one heart” in the immediate aftermath of the coup attempt.
Gülen: Erdoğan could have staged coup
In a rare interview with a small group of journalists at his residence in Saylorsburg, Pennsylvania, the reclusive Fethullah Gülen has told my colleague Amana Fontanella-Khan that he rejects all accusations that he was behind Friday’s coup attempt.
“I don’t believe that the world believes the accusations made by President Erdoğan,” Gülen said. “There is a possibility that it could be a staged coup and it could be meant for further accusations [against the Gulenists],” he said, a small prayer room, lined with woven rugs, decorated with Islamic calligraphy and leather bound religious books.
Gülen said he rejects all military interventions, and said he has personally suffered every time a coup has happened in Turkey in recent years. “Now that Turkey is on the path to democracy, it cannot turn back,” he said.
The last time the reclusive leader of the Gülen movement spoke live to international press was in 2014. Gülen rarely leaves the Golden Generation Worship and Retreat Center complex, where his movement offers religious instruction. The exiled imam is in fragile health. Before the interview he was attended to by a stethoscope-carrying physician who measured his blood pressure.
The sprawling compound is guarded by around the clock security. Following the news of the coup, Alp Aslandogan, the executive director of Alliance for Shared Values, and the media advisor to Gülen, said that security is on “high alert” following threats of violence on social media.
While Erdoğan is attempting to extradite Gülen for charges related to the coup Aslandogan said: “The US government position has always been that if there is any evidence of Mr Gulen breaking the laws, they will look into it.
“So far, the Turkish government hasn’t produced anything. Thank God, this is a country of laws, and we depend on that.”
Elaborating on the idea that Erdoğan may have staged a coup, Aslandogan noted Friday’s events did not match the pattern previous coups have followed: “The coup appears to be poorly planned, very poorly executed and everything seems to be paying into Erdogan’s hands.”
“There are many big question marks of how [this attempted coup] was executed,” he added.
