Μακριά και δύσκολη νύχτα ήταν αυτή που έζησε η Τουρκία αλλά και η υφήλιος. Εξαιρετικά κρίσιμα τα γεγονότα, συγκλονιστικές οι εικόνες. Μια νύχτα γεμάτη ανατροπές όχι μόνο σε πολιτικό αλλά και κοινωνικό επίπεδο. Πρωτοφανείς έικόνες το κοινοβούλιο να βομβαρδίζεται, ο Ερντογάν να καλεί το λαό σε κινητοποίηση, οι άνθρωποι να βγαίνουν στους δρόμους, να σταματούν τα τανκς..
Αρκεί να ειπωθεί χαρακτηριστικά πως υποστηρικτές του Τούρκου προέδρου Ρετζέπ Ταγίπ Ερντογάν επιτέθηκαν σε ομάδα στρατιωτών που είχαν παραδοθεί σε γέφυρα της Κωνσταντινούπολης, αφού είχαν συμμετάσχει στην απόπειρα πραξικοπήματος, πριν η αστυνομία επέμβει για να τους διασώσει, δήλωσε στο Reuters αυτόπτης μάρτυρας.
Ο Ερντογάν κάλεσε επανειλημμένα τους υποστηρικτές του να βγουν στους δρόμους για να βοηθήσουν να κατασταλεί η απόπειρα πραξικοπήματος, για την οποία υποστήριξε πως πραγματοποιηήθηκε από μια φράξια των ενόπλων δυνάμεων πιστή στον αντίπαλό του, τον ιερωμένο Φετουλάχ Γκιουλέν που έχει την έδρα του στις ΗΠΑ.
