Anti-coup protesters gathered outside the Turkish Embassy in Berlin in the early hours of Saturday, to show their support to the Turkish government after the Turkish military declared its takeover of the country. Protesters waved Turkish flags and banners in support of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
The Turkish military announced that it was seizing power in the country on Friday "to protect the democratic order and to maintain human rights." The statement also reported that all existing foreign relations will continue.
Several explosions also rocked the Turkish Parliament in Ankara, reportedly injuring 12 people, while an F-16 also reportedly shot down a military helicopter, which was accused of taking part in the coup. Gunfire was also heard around the Interior Ministry in Ankara with people captured fleeing the scene.
Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim confirmed that an attempted coup was underway, but stated that the situation was largely under control and that a no-fly zone had been declared over Ankara. Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan landed in Istanbul early Saturday morning.
