People shout slogans on as truck during a demonstration against the failed Army coup attempt at Taksim Sqaure, in Istanbul, Turkey, 16 July 2016. Turkish Prime Minister Yildirim reportedly said that the Turkish military was involved in an attempted coup d'etat. The Turkish military meanwhile stated it had taken over control. According to news reports, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has denounced the coup attempt as an “act of treason” and insisted his government remains in charge. Some 104 coup plotters were killed, 90 people – 41 of them police and 47 are civilians – “fell martrys”, after an attempt to bring down the Turkish government, the acting army chief General Umit Dundar said in a televised appearance.
