As the sun rises in Turkey, it appears that the attempted coup against president Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has failed, and that forces loyal to him are regaining control of the country. Media outlets that were raided are back broadcasting on air, and according to Prime Minister Binali Yildirim, at least 130 military officers have been arrested, including 13 who tried to storm the presidential palace. [UPDATE (12:45 a.m.): According to state-run Anadolu Agency, 754 members of the military have now been detained.]

In his various public statements across the past six hours, Erdoğan repeatedly asked citizens to go into the streets and protest against the attempted coup by a faction of the military. Images from Turkey showed that a sizable number of Turks followed his request, and we are now seeing astonishing photos of police officers and ordinary citizens arresting soldiers who participated in the attempted coup.
