Turkey’s state-run news agency says some 200 unarmed soldiers have left Turkey’s military headquarters in the capital Ankara and have surrendered to police.It isn’t immediately clear if those 200 are among 1,563 military personnel who have been reported detained across Turkey as the government cracks down on the attempted coup.A senior Turkish official says most of those arrested are of lower ranks. The official was communicating with the media on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the situation.


At least 60 people, “mostly civilians,” were killed in attacks in Ankara, according to a government spokesman. The government said about 120 people have been arrested.
“They have pointed the people’s guns against the people,” Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan declared Saturday morning, after a night of bomb blasts, gunfire and air battles between rival aircraft of the Turkish military rattled the capital.
Erdogan called on supporters to take to the streets to defend his rule, and by Saturday morning, Turkish television was broadcasting images of rebel soldiers surrendering. The state-run Anadolu news agency said 754 members of the armed forces have been arrested
