(SOUNDBITE) (Turkish) ERDOGAN SUPPORTER, AHMET DEMIRCI, SAYING: "I know that the United States have a finger in this. I know that this is a play put on by the United States, Israel and the United Kingdom. That dishonest man, Fethullah Gulen is their pawn. I know it like the back of my hand." 6. PEOPLE DEMONSTRATING 7. (SOUNDBITE) (Turkish) ERDOGAN SUPPORTER, MEHMET KUTLUCA, SAYING: "They are behind every game played in the world. If they succeed they celebrate. If not, they say they stand by the elected government. Don't be slaves. Man up. Shame on you. What do you want?" 8. PEOPLE DEMONSTRATING 9. (SOUNDBITE) (Turkish) ERDOGAN SUPPORTER, AYHAN ONKIBAR, SAYING: "Why don't they hand him over? Why do they keep making insinuations? He (Fethullah Gulen) lives there. Don't you think this is an apparent indicator? This is the impression people have. If he doesn't live in his country, he could live in a Muslim country. Why does he live in the United States? These are the details we have noticed." 10. VARIOUS OF JOURNALIST AND POLITICAL ANALYST, ANDREW FINKEL, WORKING ON COMPUTER 11.

He has this opportunity to move against those who oppose him and yet because of the coup he is now ruling over a Turkey which is much weaker. So by pointing a finger at threats from abroad, threats from within etc etc he in a sense is isolating Turkey."

(SOUNDBITE) (Turkish) NATIONALIST MOVEMENT PARTY (MHP) LEADER, DEVLET BAHCELI, SAYING: "Claims that the CIA (U.S. Central Intelligence Agency) is behind this coup attempt are becoming more prominent. It is rumoured that an American general at the top of ISAF (International Security Assistance Force) was one of the perpetrators and organisers of the Gulenist coup attempt. There are talks that this American had secretly entered Turkey twice before July 15, and that he has held secret meetings in Erzurum and the Adana Incirlik base." 14. MHP LAWMAKERS APPLAUDING 15. (SOUNDBITE) (Turkish) NATIONALIST MOVEMENT PARTY (MHP) LEADER, DEVLET BAHCELI, SAYING: "If the US is part of the July 15 coup attempt and if they have interfered through the Incirlik base, the natural result of this would be the serious damaging of friendly ties and alliances between the two nations. This means that the US and other worldly powers are trying to drag Turkey into a civil war." ISTANBUL, TURKEY (JULY 16, 2016) (REUTERS - ACCESS ALL) 16.
