Turkey is officially trying to put the coup to rest, and the loyalists are calling a victory.
Umit Dündar has been named the interim Chief of Military Staff, by Prime Minister Binali Yildirim. Albeit, there is still no word on his predecessor, General Hulusi Akar. Turkish President Erdoğan has shrugged off General Akar, who was taken hostage by rebel Turkish Army forces when the coup was initially launched. Although, the rebels are not done and have released a simple statement,
We are determinedly still fighting.
Turkish Army Forces are continuing to “Coup”. We will take down people or any forces who tries to resist to us. Please stay in your home for your Health and safety. Regards to the public – Turkish Army Forces.
Judging how loyalist Turkish forces are treating civilians, it would appear that surrender would be a foolish course of action. As for those rebels who have surrendered. Unconfirmed reports suggest that Rebels that were captured on the Bosphorus Bridge, have been thrown from the bridge by Loyalists forces.
According to the Turkish Justice Ministry, 1,374 rebel Turkish Soldiers have been taken into custody. The Justice Ministry has yet to provide any public statements regarding the use of lethal force, and attack helicopters on civilians.
