“Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has reportedly fled the country in a private jet following a military coup. In the last few hours gunfire has been heard in the Turkish capital Ankara as military jets and helicopters were seen flying overhead. The state TV channel has been taken off air, while internet access has been cut across the country. The Turkish chief of staff has reportedly been taken ‘hostage’ by the army. The military says all existing foreign relations will continue and ‘the rule of law must remain a priority.’ Photographs and video footage show armed soldiers with tanks on the streets of a number of major cities in Turkey, with claims a curfew has been put in place.”
