Turkey’s Prime Minister Binali Yildirim says the government is, once again, in control of the country, following a failed coup attempt which started late Friday.
The takeover saw a night of explosions, air strikes and gunfire.
The Turkish parliament in Ankara was bombed and Istanbul’s main airport was seized.
The coup attempt also led to the temporary seizure of the state broadcaster TRT.
Erdogan, who had been holidaying on the southwest coast when the coup was launched, called the uprising an “act of treason” and those responsible would pay a heavy price.
