Turkey coup

"The judicial process on this will continue," broadcaster NTV quoted Justice Minister Bekir Bozdag as saying.

Yesterday, at least 265 people, including coup plotters, were killed when a faction of Turkey's armed forces tried to seize power using tanks and attack helicopters.

Less than 24 hours earlier thousands had turned out to help quash the plot.

President Recep Tayyip Erdogan wants the extradition of US-based clericFethullah Gulen over the plot. Mr Gulen denies any involvement.

Nearly 3,000 soldiers have been detained and some 2,700 judges sacked as the government re-asserts power.

Generals are reported to be among those detained.

Prime Minister Binali Yildirim called the coup attempt a "black stain on Turkish democracy".

Less than an hour ago, he says, soldiers were surrendering en masse, walking away from tanks and abandoning their posts on the suspension bridge, which crosses the river that bisects the city.

President Erdogan addressing crowd in Istanbul

Erdogan says the coup is over, that the government is in control.

He appears to place the blame in this live address on Fethullah Gulen, a high-profile political figure and religious scholar based in U.S., says Ivan Watson, CNN's Senior International Correspondent.

While Mehmet Simsek, the Deputy Prime Minister, tells CNN the military coup has failed and that "the government is still in control", reports of explosions and gunfire are still coming in from Istanbul.

42 people, including police officer, have reportedly been killed in Ankara. 

It is unclear who is really in control of Istanbul and Ankara at this point in time.

Istanbul's Ataturk Airport has reopened and news channels have begun broadcasting again, after being temporarily shut down by soldiers earlier in the night.

Here is the latest.

A statement read on TV said a "peace council" now ran the country and there was a curfew and martial law.

But PM Binali Yildirim said the situation was largely under control and a no-fly zone was declared over Ankara.

President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said he would overcome what he called an uprising by a minority.

Reports are coming of two explosions at parliament building in Ankara.

It is unclear who the plotting army group is or its level of support. Some top army officials are said to be detained.
