Coup Crumbles Leaving '194 Dead'

Acting Chief of Staff Dundar has claimed that 104 coup plotters have been killed in the attempt and that a total of 1,154 people have been wounded.

The worsening political situation and terrorist threats in Turkey will have the affect of weakening international and regional stability, according to the Russian Foreign Ministry. We have also received reports that Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson has spoken with his Turkish counterpart and expressed support for the government.

More than 1,500 soldiers have been detained, according to a Turkish military official. The newly appointed Gen. Umit Dundar says those who took part in what he has described as the "betrayal" will not go unpunished, adding that those who "sided with democracy and the rule of law" thwarted the attempt.

Russia has reiterated its readiness for constructive, joint work with the legitimate leadership of Turkey, according to a statement from the Russian Foreign Ministry.
