AKIPRESS.COM - The state-run Anadolu news agency said at least 90 people were killed in clashes and more than 1,100 were wounded.

Anadolu Agency also reported Saturday morning that 1,563 members of armed forces have been detained across the country. The number of those detained steadily increased Saturday: two hours before that figure was released, the number of detained was 754.

According to the Ministry of Interior, 29 colonels and 5 generals were relieved of their duties.

About 200 unarmed soldiers left Turkey's military headquarters and surrendered to police, Anadolu Agency reported.

There were also at least two blasts reported near the entrance to parliament and no immediate word of casualties. The entrance to the building appears damaged.

Late Friday night, the country's president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, returned to Istanbul after going to an undisclosed location and vowed that those who carried out the coup will "pay." Earlier, he urged supporters to take to the streets in defiance.

Upon arrival at Istanbul's Ataruk Airport, Erdogan addressed thousands of flag-waving supporters, saying the coup won't succeed. "They have pointed the people's guns against the people," he said. "The president, whom 52 percent of the people brought to power, is in charge. This government brought to power by the people, is in charge. They won't succeed as long as we stand against them by risking everything."

Erdogan also called the coup a "gift from God" because it will help Turkey clean out the military from the "members of this gang." The timing of the coup was "meaningful," because the military will start meetings in the beginning of August, and those who staged the coup were afraid of the decisions that would be made at those meetings, Erdogan said.
