The Turkish military apparently staged a coup on Friday night, deploying military onto the streets of Istanbul and Ankara, Turkey's largest city and capital, respectively.
Erdogan made a statement aired on CNNTurk, via Apple FaceTime, calling on Turkish citizens to "gather in squares, airports."
People have responded by gathering in the streets of Istanbul, photos on social media show.
Footage has emerged of protesters overunning the military tanks rolling into Istanbul. Soldiers have reportedly begun opening fire at protesters near Istanbul's Bosphorus bridge.
