“The occurrence was qualified as a failed attempt of military coup. Military officers in Istanbul stopped the traffic on all the bridges, few movements were observed in different parts of the city. In Ankara, where I live, 2-3 military helicopters were flying rather low targeting some parts of the city, including the Police department of the Parliament. While attacking the Parliament building shooting from the helicopter was recorded. The eyewitnesses claim that civilians have been killed as well.”

“In this regard, frankly speaking, I’m very content and happy. I need to add one point, if negotiations aren’t disrupted, in this case, it’s anticipated that steps increasing tension and leading to sharpening of the situation from both sides were excluded. In that case it’s clear, who’s the initiator of the steps throughout last 15 hours. Accordingly, I repeat, I want to believe to the assurance, that negotiations aren’t disrupted, but if they’re not disrupted, sharpening shouldn’t be observed as well,” Yenigomshyan said.
