He said he was still president and commander in chief. He vowed the insurrectionists would pay a 'very heavy price'. 

Turkish Interior Minister Efkan Ala says very effective units from the chief of general staff's office, the Turkish armed forces and the police are responding to the attempted coup in the country.

Ala says they are responding to 'gangs who have taken cover in certain locations'.

He spoke by telephone to NTV television and also encouraged Turkish citizens to 'fearlessly go out and support our security forces'.

He says: 'We think it would be right for them to go out to the airports, to the streets, especially to the main arteries. As long as they do that this gang's attempts... they will be defeated no matter what.'

He added 'this is a gang that considers nothing sacred, not the people or the nation. They're taking certain actions.'


Turkish people appear to have heeded Erdogan's appeal to take to the streets to protest against the military takeover

Erdogan was elected president in 2014 after becoming prime minister in 2003 and served as the Mayor of Instanbul from 1994 to 1998.

He founded the Justice and Development Party, known as the AKP in 2001 and led it through three general elections.

He then stepped down as leader in 2003 when he was elected President.

He comes from an Islamist political background and is described as a conservative democrat.

He has proved to be a divisive character in Turkish society.

Erdogan has become increasingly unpopular with more educated and modernised people but he has denied wanting to impose Islamic values in the country.

He has said he is committed to secularism but supports people’s rights to express their religious beliefs openly.

The party which he founded, AKP, suffered a dip in the polls last summer, but regained popularity again after Turkey’s worst suicide bombing in history last November.

He remains well-liked among the more traditional Muslim community in Turkey, who supported his bids to criminalise adultery and introduce alcohol-free zones in the country although they ultimately failed.

Mr Erdogan owes much of his political success to the stable economy over the last decade.
