Coup Plotters Blocked Off FSM and Bosphorus Bridge

TIME : 21:40 LOCATION : İstanbul

The pro-coup soldiers closed Bosporus and Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridges to one-way traffic with tanks and armored vehicles that have come from General Nurettin Baransel Barracks in Maltepe. Crossing the bridges from Anatolia to Europe was hindered, causing long vehicle queues. Meanwhile, it was appeared on the social media that soldiers in Beylerbeyi, which is located under abutment of Bosphorus Bridge, made announcements to the public: "Martial law is proclaimed, control of the government is seized, everybody must go home!"
