Erdogan also released a statement on Twitter, calling on people to go out into squares and Ataturk Airport to show support. The military instead warned people to stay inside their homes.
Milletimizi demokrasimize ve milli iradeye sahip çıkmak üzere meydanlara, havalimanlarına davet ediyorum.

It is a strange move for a man who runs a government that is known to block social media sites at times of uncertainty in the country. On Friday, as news of the attempted coup broke across social media, reports surfaced that Facebook, YouTube and Twitter had been blacked out in the country. It's unclear who in power had blocked social media sites as reported nor if Erdogan knew of the play, particularly as he took to Twitter to make a statement.
On Friday evening, reports emerged the city of Istanbul and the capital of Ankara had been closed down by military personnel. Tanks were driving through the streets as two major bridges across the Bosphorus, a natural strait, in Istanbul were shut by armed forces. There were also reports of military jets flying above the capital.
Turkey's armed forces released a statement saying they had "fully seized control" of Turkey, while Erdogan claimed it was still an "attempted" coup.
Soldiers blocked entry to Ataturk Airport where four tanks were stationed, according to the private Dogan news agency. Two other tanks and a military vehicle were stationed in front of the VIP terminal. The report said the soldiers had entered the tower and stopped all flights.
The military said it seized control "to reinstall the constitutional order, democracy, human rights and freedoms, to ensure that the rule of law once again reigns in the country, for the law and order to be reinstated."
