the attempted coup. some people have been wounded. in washington, we have received word that president obama has been briefed on the developments in turkey, which is a key nato ally. again, the military claiming to have seized power. the national security council saying that president obama has been apprised of what they call in unfolding situation in turkey, and that he would continue to receive regular updates. the u.s. secretary of state, john kerry, is traveling abroad. he said that he did not have enough clear information at the he hopes he said that for stability and continuing continuity in turkey following the report that secretary kerry was in marsico for talks -- in moscow for talks on syria. we are learning, according to -- according to the

associated press, that the military's opening fire on people trying to cross istanbul's bosphorus bridge in protest. that is the latest from the newsroom. i'm mark crumpton. matt: mark, thank you's -- tom: mark, thank you so much. joining us, ian bremmer, a student of international relations and also the times and the changes of turkey. dr. brimmer, thank you for joining us. not is not ankara -- ataturk of 1923. what is the distinguishing feature of the 2016 coup? nost: different times, question. the turks have a challenging relationship today with europe, and increasingly authoritarian ankara, though democratically elected, is one said to be very challenged by europeans on the continent. in fighting against

syria, say that russia is a closer ally today than their own nato ally. inkey, and ankara -- erdogan's popular opinion, has been going quite down, in the low 30's at this point because he has picked fights with just about everyone. having said that, it looks like this coup is reasonably well-organized, and it does not look like it has the highest levels of military engagement and support. erdogan himself, as well as the , calling forr people to come on the streets. it will be challenging for americans to know what to do right now, with the situation. i suspect americans will either denounce the coup immediately, or provide a lot of support for erdogan, because they want to understand who is behind it, how likely doesn't succeed, and what kind of challenges are opportunities become of that? challenges or opportunities

become of that. tom: is it true that this is about the pkk and all the kurdish work involving iraq and syria, or is there greater complexity? why thehat is certainly geopolitics have gotten worse. you have both in iraq and in syria, as the islamic's being defeated, the kurds are the ones who are consolidating their moving towards independence. there is also a big fight with the kurds within turkey itself. the kurds are doing more fighting against them than they are against isis, and that is seen as a direct threat to the turkish state and to erdogan. a next islandmed pennsylvania in the united states, who he has said before mannd next i'll in -- a

in exile in pennsylvania in the united states. if erdogan comes back, he is going to demand that the americans extradite the person can outng to take a of power, and the americans are going to refuse. the u.s. and turkey are going to have an unprecedented crisis on their hands if erdogan comes back. ntv is reporting 17 police officers died in ankara. in an aerialled attack as the military was trying to take over turkish police headquarters. obviously, this is the kind of bloodshed you do not want to see. this is the kind of thing that you can expect when you have the president calling for the civilians to come out and trying to quell a coup led by military personnel that are in armored tanks and flying helicopters and jets.

, one of the things i am trying to sort out here is, is it a secretary and coup -- secretarian coup or in islamist coup? say this isld not an islamist coup. i would say this is a reasonably coup, aian military nationalist coup, but it is the military largely by itself. we have not only you don zone party, but also opposition parties in turkey -- erdogan's own party, but also opposition parties in turkey. there is as

significant piece of the military operating by and large by itself. they are taking over the airports, they have shutdown state media, they are shutting down social media. they clearly also are trying to consolidate as much territory and infrastructure as possible. and they have been willing to fire on civilians in the police. that is all a bad sign in early days. it is only ais, few generals, but you don't have rank and the military that are willing to file on the people, so it usually dissipates quickly. it is only three hours in, that does not appear to be the case, and they seem to be fighting for higher stakes. there,an bremmer president of the eurasia group. 1980, the coup in third coup in turkish history, they did not, the military

people attempting this coup, managed to round up the political leaders. the first thing they did after 1980, and here they have led the president and prime minister slip through their fingers. the new headlines from united states. the white house issuing a statement looking at the safety of u.s. citizens and turkey. one of the biggest changes in this coup of 2016 is the size of the istanbul airport and the new westernization has been extraordinary. the president discusses the coup with secretary of state kerry as well. presidencythe turkey said that in at 16 shot down hijacked helicopters. some of the immediate headlines. no one has predicted this better tun donald t -- donna y, founder of the middle east institutell. ull, founder of the

middle east institute. we are thrilled to bring her in. when you look at this moment in turkey, what is the distinction versus 2007 and 2011? [indiscernible] tom: we are having technical difficulties there with dr. tol . we will try to get her back on in a bit. matt, i think you have been good on focusing on futuna:. there is an immediate u.s. angle to the calculus of ankara and istanbul. mark: right, because he is here in pennsylvania, and i have heard this from a lot of turkish citizens, that he is a creature here that erdogan has been fighting against for some time, him uphas been blaming

for this faction in the military. fors basically blaming him what he refers to as a parallel structure in the military, saying that he is the leader of one side and erdogan is the leader of the other. i am not up to speed on what those exact images are, but you have to believe that with the size of turkey, i cannot turkey theastern shock over this coup right now. matt: the question is, at 2:00 a.m., how many people met with this in eastern turkey. it took me a months to travel along the border of the country, and there are some pretty remote regions in that country, compared with the metropolitan feeling of istanbul. in the formerg coordinator of counterterrorism at the state department.

daniel, let me ask you what you think of the strength of this coup. it appears that one fatal mistake is not capturing the president of the country, nor the prime minister, before commencing with the attempt to take over the country. guest: you are certainly right that a big question is the strength of the coup. i have yet to see anything that gives us any clear indication about that. it is usually the case that a president is apprehended. but we have had cases -- we have had one in pakistan where a coup kicked him out of the country and he was prevented from coming back. it is not like there is a manual on how to conduct these things. tom: you were with president clinton 25 years ago. there was ars ago,

completely different calculus here. what will be the response of the within the traditional secular islamist turkey now, versus when you surf with president clinton? in this also served administration. i would say that right now, there is an awful lot of confusion and a lot of waiting and saying, look, president erdogan is no one's idea of an easy partner to work with, and there has been a great deal of concern about human rights abuses. the very sharp and regrettable turn that kurdish policy took, and also some issues regarding counterterrorism. at the same time, this is crossing the biggest redline there is, and washington can't be very happy that there is a coup underway. i think everybody is quite surprised that the turkish military still had this in them, because there was a widespread view that erdogan had to really

tame the army. this comes as a big shock. tom: turkey's 1000 miles east to west. tell us about command and military canthe have. i guess they can take two bridges in istanbul, what do they do when they go east of ankara? guest: frankly, it is kind of hard to say. i think command and control in akara, command and control in range of different barracks around the country, that truly was coordinated. if it was not, it is more amateurish than one would have thought. some of the key bases will be the place to start, and the expectation will be that there will be enough senior military members to put the rest in line, and if there is not, the possibility of significant violence. and we are hearing now

that a group linked to the islamist preacher currently in annsylvania, as well as political group linked to the condemned this coup. it seems that everyone wants the problem to be solved democratically. groupes this military needs to get behind it in order to maintain real power? it is hard to say. i think one of the questions is whether the secular parties, the nationalist parties that have been in opposition are supporting this. reports saying that they also denounced this.

if they can control the situation, they will try to push through with support in the public sector, and that is going to be a challenge, because turks are largely protestant fact that they have gone nearly use -- are largely proud of the fact that they have gone nearly four years without a coup. tom: thank you very much. i am fascinated about where we are. when you look at the headlines, it is clear that there is no cohesive military. look at the headline coming across. a turkish navy commander says he does not accept the coup. matt: the turkish military aying a f-16 shot down military helicopter. a number of groups are contending -- contending -- ♪

matt: attempted coup in turkey has driven the markets down. the turkish lira fell the most in eight years after these headlines started to come across. i'm matt miller in midtown manhattan with tom keene. tom: good evening. it is a very fluent moment right

now. we will have mark crumpton bring you up-to-date. we are doing everything we can to aggregate the headlines globally. best thatpeak to the we can find on international relations on the distinctions and differences this time. our single message at 7:19 eastern time. this is a highly fluid situation across all of turkey. right now, let's go to mark crumpton for an update. president obama is urging all parties in turkey to support the democratically-elected government of president erdogan. president obama is urging restraint and to avoid violence or bloodshed during a military takeover. --sident or no one has said president erdogan has said that despite the military action, he is still in charge and the head of the military. however, we have had reports of some protesters being fired on. president erdogan one had urged

protesters take to the street in peaceful protest to confront those wanting to take over the country. the president says he is still in charge, but there is some concern about the whereabouts of the head of the joint chief of staff in turkey, his whereabouts at this time remain unknown. all of this unfolded about three hours and 20 minutes ago, where we were hearing reports of helicopters and military jets flying overhead in ankara, turkey, one of the stalwarts of turkey along with istanbul. reports ofo hearing loud explosions and gunfire outside the presidential palace. we have not heard any reports of any affect on the u.s. embassy or the area there, but u.s. citizens are being cautioned at this time. screen,an see on your live reports from the state television in turkey, people

heeding the president's call to take to the streets in protest. ae military calling this coup, saying they have taken over, but president erdogan is urging people go to the streets in protest the united states. keeping a close eye on this as turkey's neighbors to see what is going on. we have reports of martial law imposed in turkey. we will bring you more updates as we get them. thank you so much. we have a substantial presence in istanbul. matt: absolutely, we have a consulate, i industry in turkey. istanbul and ankara are places where we have civilians and military personnel. john kerry issuing a statement moments ago with strong wording, saying he spoke with a foreign minister this evening and emphasized the united states' for turkey'sort

democratically elected civilian government and institutions. all parties tos urge safety and well-being of in turkey.missions they expressed absolute support for democratically elected governments. we are joined by a bloomberg reporter from istanbul who is i believe in the safety of her home right now. i hope everything is all right with you. sound you arethe hearing, what you are experiencing outside your apartment. i know earlier you heard jets flying over. a lot of people have come out on the streets since we last spoke. are things calming down or ramping up? guest: as you said, i am in my home right now, and there is a lot of gunfire being heard and jets and helicopters are flying above. chaosis still a lot of

and uncertainty in istanbul right now. .s well as in ankara ,hat we have been hearing president erdogan says he is still turkey's president and the chief of the army. erdogan urged the public to take to the street and public squares , and that is exactly what we have been seeing. demonstrators are taking to the streets against this coup. itever, turkey's army says has control of the country, but again, we are hearing it is a faction of the army, not the whole army per se. right now, there is so much uncertainty going on, but gunfire outside on the streets. tom: we are as guilty of any as anytion -- institution of talking to only be a leads of turkey. if you go east into greater

turkey, on the road to ankara and out to eastern turkey, how united are the people of mr. erdogan, away from ankara, what is his support? erdogan has the support of half the nation. there are people who are very second later -- and we're very secular, but there are also a lot of people in the country who fully support him, and they are the people right now taking to the streets in demonstration of this coup. when you talk to the people, what is the support for erdogan? we heard he just barely won the election with 50% of the populace, but often times, as we saw in the brexit vote, there is a little bit of buyer's that comes after an election like that. in turkey, you either love him or you hate him, and he

definitely has the love of 50% of the population. over the past few weeks, there has been a big change in foreign policy. turkey has been having diplomatic spats with russia for the past few weeks -- with russia. in the fast -- past few weeks, s withave amended time >e russia, and also israel. there have been reports of egypt as well. uncertainty about syria. matt: thank you so much. simin den micron -- demokan joining us from turkey. a coup has been attempted. the military faction is closed off british -- has closed off bridges and streets.

erdogan's at large, as well as the prime minister, and they are giving statements on live television. we have reports that an f-16 has shot down a helicopter. also, reports from television stations in turkey that 17 turkish policemen were killed by an attack helicopter near police headquarters. definitely some violence in what seems to be an escalating situation. , human rights, civil rights, if you will, in any coup were always tested. let me start with, i guess it is about civil rights, and civil rights being suspended.

when will we know and outcome that leads to the protection of the people? does that occur now, or will it take days to really know the form of a couped government? guest: it is hard to know exactly what will happen. peden times, a cou government will come in and prevent the democratic government from coming back to power. upsthe past in turkey, co have been fairly bloodless. they have restored government very quickly, not necessarily democratic government, but a fair government. let me ask what president erdogan has seemingly gone. he has not been captured by the military faction attempting this coup. at would seem to indicate a lack of planning on their part. calls on civilians

to come in and quell the coup themselves. isn't that dangerous? guest: [indiscernible] matt: sorry, go on. guest: it is of course dangerous. what i will point out is, and calling for civilians to take to the streets, erdogan used face time which uses end to end encryption. he got on to members of his government last year for using encrypted communications. that aside, the outcome is not at all known. you have the military deeply divided, and that is one to sayit is difficult whether people's rights will be protected. as of right now, it is not clear who is in charge. placing down a bet, i'd bet the coup attempt will not succeed. john kerry says the u.s.

supports the democratically elected government. we have even heard from pkk leaders that they condemn the coup, and that a lot of the dog enemies condemned the coup in favor of a democratic -- a lot of erdogan's enemies condemned the coup in favor of a democratic resolution. his that a possibility? guest: there is a possibility, but let's be clear. this is a country in which the government has been fearing for some time in a very anti-democratic direction. i think it is highly possible that, if you prevails, as is likely, he will try to strip away the opposition others have. he has already been doing that this year. i do not see things moving in a more democratic direction. it is very important that, after the u.s. government has condemned to the coup, if the

coup fails, that it continues to mount pressure on the turkish government to not move in a more authoritarian direction. tom: different nations are speaking on the second to -- on this attempted coup in turkey. ms. merkel is speaking, and the brazilian embassy staff are asking help from their citizens. at today to work of duty the u.s. naval war college. the turkish navy speaking, black seato us the and the naval presence of turkey. is it substantial? sea and the naval presence of turkey. is it substantial? guest: turkey has the second-largest military and nato after the united states. they have a substantial presence. in the past, when the turkish military has been involved in a coup, you have seen naval and army officers take over. that's what happened in the 1970's.

it would not be unusual, if this is a military leadership-led coup, which it does not appear to be. it is unclear what is happening, but they do have a huge military. att: if the army chief of staff has been taken, how does the lower level of the military possibly organize a coup of this scale? it would seem to be incredibly complex. guest: the reports are unclear. they suggest that the armed forces chief of staff is under guard. however, what you see in the videos is clear. there are tanks in the streets, fire jets flying around. there are a lot of forces out. low-levelis is a coup, they have a portion of the military, for sure. tom: when we look at this unfolding, explain to me the distinction between the old secular turkey and islamist .ebate in where we are now

there has clearly been a massive complexity and a modern change. what does secretary of state john kerry have to deal with when that great polarity of turkey? multiple things. traditionally, the turkish military is thought of as being a safeguard of turkey's secularism. it is clear that erdogan is leading the country in a different direction. matt: unfortunately, i've got to cut you off. the senior fellow at the foundation for defense of democracy, -- ♪

matt: welcome back to a special report on the latest developments in turkey. in attempted coup. tom: extraordinary. update.w, we need an headlines arcoming in in a great rate. let's go to mark crumpton. mark: thank you so much. we are hearing word that the turkish parliament will meet at 2:00 p.m. local time tomorrow to discuss this unfolding situation in turkey. time in00 p.m. local new york city, we were receiving word of military taking to the streets, and some helicopters and aircraft line overhead in major cities. the turkish government calling this a coup. erdogan speaking several times on television, repeating his

results to fight the attempted coup. he called on turks to take to the streets to repeat what he called the fight for democracy. arrest warrant's have been issued for the small group, as militaryt, within the that is waging what he called a failed coup. we are also receiving word that a series of all additions, generals, and state news media have voiced support for president erdogan, claiming democracy forces are gaining control. we also received word that the conflict is having no impact on hubairbase that is a key for american troops for fighting the islamic state. reports are continuing at this time of civilian and police injuries in this attempted coup. this beginning about 3.5 hours ago. thathite house saying president obama and his national security team are being apprised of the latest developments in turkey. saying he isogan

still in control, however, at this time. his location is unknown. steven a cook has made a cottage industry of writing for turkey. he is one of the authorities on the changing geopolitics of turkey. you wrote for politico weeks ago, i guess months ago, time flies -- is turkey really at the table? is there military at the table this evening? it seems that a faction of the military is at the table, trying to change the government in turkey, but current headlines , everything i can glean from contacts in turkey would suggest that it is not going well for that action. suggested,report across the turkish political spectrum, government ministers,

senior turkish military commanders have all said that they reject this on the part of the military officers to take over. of course the situation remains very unclear, but at this moment it seems as if this effort is not going to succeed, and president erdogan may be successful in resisting this takeover. tom: mr. erdogan has been adaptable and with his military. we learned in our studies of the idea here of a secular and islam turkey, and the military clearly being in the secular camp. there are shades of gray, aren't they are? -- are there? guest: there are, but i would message us the military has embraced the view of erdogan's party. i think they have resigned themselves to submitting to

political institutions of the --te as well as to the dogs brca 1 -- erdogan's popularity with half the population. what we know about the history s is that the ones are successful have a large amount of civilian support. we are seeing indicators it is failing. how much does a hardline islamist leader like erdogan have in a country founded by a man who wanted to turn the ottoman empire into a secular state, and did so with great success? erdogan is not the president of the country that ataturk would have liked to have seen 100 years later. guest: i think you are quite right. what he has tried to do was transform turkey. his popularity was significant.

the last election in november of 2015, he won 49.5% of the vote. but it is important to understand that, when we talk about erdogan, the party has not sought to implement islamic law. the have always emphasized importance of conservative values, conservative religious values within the context of a secular state. they don't have the kind of secularism we have here in the united states, rather, it is that wascularism implemented in the 1920's. that is not to suggest that erdogan's role is not problematic. he has demonstrated that he is an authoritarian. he is not a democrat. ofre are problems in turkey the quality of politics, the nature of the authoritarian

system. it is an unstable country. i'm reminded of christopher hitchens' wonderful article. a northern iraq in the very eastern part of turkey. how detached is the great landmass of turkey to the affluent western west of turkey? there are huge differences in the country, even after years of economic growth in turkey. to go out to the eastern part of the country, the predominantly kurdish part of the country, there are differences between istanbul and these places that are enormous. has succeeded because there has been economic development, because he has given people health care. they do enjoy better infrastructure. they do have better transportation options.

i think that is one of the things that analysts and policymakers miss, that we are focused on the erdogan the man and his drive to power. much fork you so joining us this evening. i am sure we will call upon you this week. this is an important guest that we have now, that miller. matt: that's right. we have a senior advisor for the prime ministry joining us on the phone. can you, sir, confirm that this military coup has been attempted and now thwarted, or are the struggles ongoing? tost: well, we have managed gain control in many parts. what we know for sure, that attempt is an attempt organized by a faction in the army, and

they are acting outside of the general's command. , these arething unauthorized statesman. , we have confirmed the majority of places they have lost and we have managed to get control. why this situation is critical, it is sensitive, and we have to wait for at least 24 hours. what we know for sure, the andrnment and the states elected officials managed to resist military intervention. sorry, onethe -- thing -- the president and the government are in power, and as of now, a legal process has

initiated against those people. both by the army and by the prosecutor. we believe -- yeah. matt: we can see the president is still at large and seems to be in various places. the government seems to be holding together. but what about the military? the chief of defense has been reported captured. do you know about his whereabouts, and how he is at the moment? ideas.i do not have any what i can say is, in the last one hour, high backing generals, including second in command in the army, they made statements calling all the soldiers outside of their barracks to go back to their barracks. a legale clear that process will be initiated

against them and they will prosecute. what we know for sure, the majority of the army, with the exception of the faction, which has been defined as one of the as -- [indiscernible] with the exception of them, the army is united. also shall groups in turkey -- are havinggroups demonstrations. people are climbing over the tanks to protest intervention. while we feel frustration right now, i am happy to say that turkish people are doing to protect democracy, and we will be successful. i want to remind our

viewers, we are talking to a senior adviser at the turkish prime ministry. can i ask you about reports that parliament has been bombed? we are seeing reports from a turkish news agency that , oriament has been bombed there were at least explosions. guest: there were some explosions, but it is not a bomb. , i don't knowcall the technical name, it is something to create fear. it did not have difficulty in the parliament. we had difficulties around the parliament, but members of , a couple of opposition parties have made that they wills do anything to prevent this intervention. it is not a bomb. tom: tell us about the support of the military outside of istanbul and ankara.

it has been hugely fluent since the coup of 1980, the recent e-coup. what is the support of the military away from the elites in istanbul and ankara? guest: one of the things that has characterized this is that are acting outside the chain of command. group, aa small --l-organized group, but we but what we are sure of is we do not have any difficulty in terms of security. in almost all parts of turkey, the situation is under control by pro-democracy forces. tom: how will the government adapt to this?

i have got to ask the question, where is mr. erdogan right now? 8 guest the president is at large, the prime minister is in ankara. right after the news about military intervention, they made their statement. minister has said that the government is in power and we will prosecute the people involved. she has called people to come out and protest the interventions -- he has called people to come out and protest the interventions. thousands are protesting, and groups carrying turkish flags, protesting the military intervention.

what i can say is that we have been part of the subject of military intervention, but we all resist as one, and we will deflect them. if you have any idea on who has started this coup, who is responsible for this? you are telling us that some of the top generals have been gathered together, there are turkish newspaper reports that this could be a coup started by a kernel. do you know any of those details? guest: i do not, because we have to wait for confirmation. is it iswe know definitely a small faction in the army. -- andhen do you think let me remind viewers, we are talking with a senior advisor of the turkish prime ministry,

joining us on the phone -- when theou think we will get small military faction cleared out from istanbul and ankara, and when do you think you will be able to gain full control of the streets? guest: the majority of the streets are already under control. we believe in 24 hours, we will take full control. in 2011 wrote a book and edited a book on turkey, europe, and the european union. change theis coup immediate dialogue between turkey and the european union? as of now, we urge all to allies and world leaders stand in solidarity with turkish

people and turkish democracy. the european union stands with the turkish democracy and the turkish people. if the country manages to resist, it is a sign of the success of turkish democracy, or the maturity of turkish democracy. we will be able to protect turkish dignity, democracy, and i hope that all of our allies will stand with turkey. the impact, we will see.

but we know there is a positive impact of protecting democracy in turkey. tom: thank you so much. we are joined by strat4 in austin. headlines are coming in that turkish jets can be heard roaring over ankara. what appears to be a modest part of the military , can they pull this off? guest: i think they will fail. it appears to be led by a faction within the military that is highly polarizing. in the military, we have the glynis movement, which had a with the ruling

party. attempts to shut it down, and military outlets purged them from the government. but interestingly enough, the military was not fully purged of these dissenters. a lot of the reason why is because it appears that the witness had a lot of blackmail on military generals. they would rely on intimidation tactics. they had staying power. they were not fully purged. we now have this coup attempt that appears to be led by a faction, but this is not a faction that has full support within the military, or within the broader populace. matt: we heard members of the government saying it that maybe fethullah gulen and his alliance for shared values was behind this two. -- this coup. that group has come out

condemning the coup. who do you think is behind this attempt? guest: it is too early to tell. all we can see is that there is certainly reason to suspect dylan's influence behind the faction that led the coup. see now, military dissenters coming up in the coup starting to fray, i think we will see backtracking. matt: the turkish prime minister is speaking to ntv, saying the coup was indeed a rebellion by the gulen movement inside the army. that does not mean that fethullah gulen himself was responsible, but that could be the case. he is also saying the situation is largely under control, and the turkish airspace has been closed. tom: what would be the immediate change to the domestic politics of turkey if we can state that this is a small part of the

military? if we can look at the headlines from the prime minister saying that it is largely under control, how does turkey get back to work monday morning? is going to be a lot of instability to be sure, but you can bet on more crackdowns, and certainly erdogan will be all the more justified. remember, we had huge deals turkey and the european union and the european union in trying to control migrant traffic. of course, the europeans have tried to pull back on some of the security legislation. that is not going to happen. erdogan will use this to crack down even further. the european insurgents will have to accept it in order to keep their migrant traffic under control. i think you are still going to see turkey on its path to defeat this influence. thank you so much. larry hour. the fluidity of the headlines. power.xtraordinary

the fluidity of the headlines. matt: for those tuning in, we are covering a rebellion coup in turkey. the pragmatist or is saying it was -- that the girl in movement was behind it. also, the turkish airspace has been closed. a very precarious situation. tom: there it is, and the headlines through the weekend across bloomberg, all of our digital space, and bloomberg television. aswelcome our radio audience well. i'm tom keene with matt miller. good evening. ♪

john: on the suge knight, donald trump's new running mate and the donald trump movements heads trumped. the world is stunned and grieving after further violence in the city of nice, on the day in which reports of a military coup underway in turkey. 84 were killed and 200 injured by a truck that clout into a crowd celebrating bastille day. the attacker was identified as a 31-year-old delivery truck driver from tunisia.
