He (Erdogan)said that the coup attempt was the work of followers of Fethullah Gulen, an Islamic preacher who lives in exile in Pennsylvania, and who once was an ally of Mr. Erdogan.

I don't know what would I do if this happened in my country, I seriously feel horrible for the people that are living that nightmare tonight. Let's hope everything mellows out quickly.

"The US secretary of state John Kerry says he hopes there will be peace, stability and unity within Turkey amid reports that a military coup is underway." -- Seems like he's not too broken up about it; hopes it will be over quickly?
