Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said early on July 16 that coup plotters would pay for what they did.
“They will pay for what they did,” Erdoğan said at speaking at Istanbul’s Atatürk airport after returning from the southern resort Marmaris.
“This
attempted uprising will get its answer from the law and they will be
given an answer in the judicial system. They should know that in this
country the law will be maintained,” he said.
The
plotters killed 17 policemen in an attack on the Gölbaşı Special Forces
Department headquarters in the Turkish capital of Ankara, according to
the Istanbul governor.
Two employees were killed at the Turkish satellite operator TÜRKSTAT in the same district.
