PRESIDENT EMERGES
President Erdogan appeared before crowds of supporters at Istanbul’s main Ataturk airport, after what officials said had been a coup attempt by a faction within the armed forces.

Turkish authorities said an attempted coup had been fended off by government forces, but reports of fighting and explosions continued in the early hours of Saturday in Ankara and Istanbul. Thirteen soldiers were arrested near the presidential palace in Ankara, and another 50 in Istanbul, in connection with the coup attempt, broadcaster NTV reported.
Prime Minister Binali Yidirim said the situation was under control, and that army head Hulusi Akar, remained in control of the military and was not part of the coup.
