Current coup summary: 250 people dead (according to The Guardian), 1440+ injured. According to Turkey's Chief of Staff, the coup was against President Erdogan's government, launched by troops from the Turkish Air Force and Gendarmerie. Erdogan asserts the coup is over, but some reports suggest the calm in Ankara indicates the coup succeeded there, and that there is presently a stalemate between government and anti-government forces. The Turkish government just ordered the dismissal of 2745 judges from their seats. According to Reuters, there were 7604 judges in Turkey total, so ~36% were removed from duty. |
