ANKARA: The coup attempt by the rebel group of Turkey army has been failed, as hundreds of thousands of people took to streets in Ankara and Istanbul, thenewstribe.io reported.
According to reports from Turkish media police have detained most of the soldiers involved in attempted military coup on Friday night as hundreds of thousands people took onto streets to show solidarity with the elected government.
The streets have now been seized with arms-less masses protesting against attempted coup.
TheNewsTribe’s Turkey desk, while sighting Turkish media, reported that the soldiers involved in illegal coup attempt retreated from National Intelligence Service (MIT) headquarters after MIT forces fought against fire with fire.
Protesters now seem to foil the bid of takeover, as army men have been surrounded by the pro-Erdogan protesters and they are taking control of tanks on the streets.
