As night fell, the main squares in Istanbul were packed with people, chanting that neither their land nor democracy could be taken away by soldiers. kessel Unadi is in Istanbul.
Here in the European side of Istanbul, we have a gathering of more than thousand people, chanting in support of their president, and chanted against the coup attempt.
A similar gathering of thousands of people also has been reported on the Asian side, where a confident president Erdogan appeared among the supporters, and gave a speech, saying that the military, the army, the majority of the soldiers are with the government and with him, and in response to chance from the people who were asking for the execution of those involved in the coup attempt, he said the parliament should decide about this.
Mr. Erdogan called on the United States to extradite the exile Turkish cleric Fethullah Gulen who has been accused of being behind the plot.
Mr. Gulen, who lives in Pennsylvinia, denies any involvement, and has denounced the coup attempt. The US Secretary of State John Kerry said the Turkish authorities must show proof of any wrongdoing by Mr. Gulen before extradiction could be considered.
Close to 3,000 soldiers, including several Generals, are now in custody, following the collapse of the coup attempt.

The attempted coup has failed and Mr.Erdogan has rallied his supporters. Turkey's political bruiser will emerge strengthened by this, as he pins it as the survival of Turkish democracy.
