Earlier on Saturday, the Turkish government came under siege by a faction of military forces who sought to end President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's rule, claiming that the leader drifted away from the country's long-held secularist values.
At least 90 people were killed and 1,154 wounded in what Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan called a "treason."
