High ranking officers are not supporting the coup. They're all RTE's men.
Highest officer was a witness as his daughters wedding.

Rumours are that bombs have been dropped on Aksaray palace.

Seventeen policemen where killed at a police station outside Ankara in a gun battle and a fighter jet has shot down a helicopter. Lots of fighter bombers bombing in Ankara. Some people did support Erdogan on the streets.

I'm watching live feeds where you can see protestors attacking tanks so reporter is probably in a different area.

  RTE is appealing to people to flock to the squares he banned them from.     No tear gas this time.

They would not have got this far without the support of generals apparently. Annette Young is a French journalist in a hotel near the Bospherous and she says it appears relatively safe at the moment. There is confusion as to who is in control but there is gunfire. Martial law is in place but people are refusing to stay in . Annette has spoken to some people who have been stocking up on food as the troubles could go on for some time. By and large people are staying indoors to stay safe .

Rumours are that it is wasn't a real coup to start with but just a plot for RTE to increase his power.

All cigarettes have been sold out in the local shops here.

Sounds as if the shops are busy! What is the Efes situation?
