President Recep Tayyip Erdogan urged Turks to remain on the streets on July 16, 2016, as his forces regained control after a spectacular coup bid by discontented soldiers that claimed more than 250 lives. Describing the attempted coup as a “black stain” on Turkey’s democracy, Yildirim said that 161 people had been killed in the night of violence and 1,440 wounded. / AFP PHOTO / GURCAN OZTURK
