Relatively well orchestrated coup - EU source
Posted at 22:35

A European Union source tells the Reuters news agency: "It looks like a relatively well orchestrated coup by a substantial body of the military, not just a few colonels." "They control several strategic points in Istanbul. Given the scale of the operation, it is difficult to imagine they will stop short of prevailing," the source adds.

  Ironic that RTE is using a mobile phone via twitter to appeal for help.

  Pictures of Gul on a mobile skype, talking but no sound, just pictures.

Some reports are saying Erdogan has left the country in a jet and some reports are saying he is in a Marmaris hotel.

Lots of people going to the ATM to make sure they have their cash! The mosques have called a prayer for Erdogan. Soldiers have been ordered back to their bases.
