Turkey's president has declared a state of emergency for three months following Friday night's failed coup.
Recep Tayyip Erdogan said citizens should not have "the slightest concern with regards to democracy, rule of law, fundamental rights and freedoms".
The state of emergency would protect those values from attacks against them, he said, in a speech in Ankara.
The president praised those who were killed fighting against the coup as "martyrs".
The nation would "never forget the bravery and sacrifice of those who lost their lives", he said, describing "epics of heroic bravery throughout the night".
Mr Erdogan said foreign nations should stay out of Turkish affairs, adding: "This nation has the right to determine our own destiny."

We really need decentralised governance! when will we learn it's practically impossible to trust a Human with either Money or Power.
Governance by consensus, all taxes on the blockchain deducted automatically from your earnings and distributed to the relevant departments that need funding.
Come on you smart folks I'm just a mere forklift driver and I can see we need this more then pretty much anything else! stop working on money making schemes and start changing the world forever!
Don't make me learn programing... it won't end well for anyone :(
