Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan gave a brief statement via CNN Turk calling on the country's people to fight back against what he called a Gulenist network effort to undermine the country's democracy. In the statement, Erdogan urged citizens to wage conflict and take to the streets in protest.
Turkey remains in a state of martial law under the total control of a self-appointed military government that refers to themselves as a "Peace Council" that purportedly will serve as an interim government to reinstall democratic practices and the rule of law in the Middle East country.
Despite losing control of the government, Erdogan remained defiant declaring that those responsible for the attack would face a heavy price and that the coup would be stopped in a "short time."
