Happening now, turkeys hospital of president says he is back in charge after an attempted military coup. But its not clear if that coup is really over. Rebel fighters are still firing in two of the biggest cities in the middle eastern nation. At least 90 people are dead in the violence. The government says more than 750 soldiers have been detained. Turkeys president says the entire plot is being orchestrated a half world away in the poconos of pennsylvania, specifically saylorsburg, Monroe County. Thats the site of a compound where a muslim cleric has lived in exile for more than 15 years. He is an enemy of the turkish president. In his tv address Tayyip Erdogan blamed the attack on supporters of Fethullah Gulen. The coup attempt includes explosions and gunfire across the capital of ankara. The Prime Minister has called an emergency meeting of parliament today, but there are signs of surrender. Dozens of soldiers walked among tanks with their hands held up for Government Forces in istanbul. Critics say this revolt comes after president erdogan cracked down on dissidents and the media. Turkey is a key u. S. Partner in the fight against isis. President obama is urging all sides to support the democratically elected government. Monique braxton is following the pennsylvania connection to the coup attempt. Reporter turkeys president has long accused Fethullah Gulen of attempting to overthrow the government but from Monroe County, from that compound we just showed you, the cleric and his people say they had nothing to do with it. Here is sky force 10 over the compound. Its a gated 26 acre property. Gulen is rarely seen in public and has been put on trial in an accident is that at least three times. Turkeys president claims his country will not be governed from pennsylvania. Experts say his influence isnt straight enough to have directly coordinated the coup. This is a knee jerk iraqis to blame it on Fethullah Gulen but the extent that he has that kind of reach for him to reach into the military i think is really stretching it. Gulens organization did put out a statement which condemned the coup, also called the turkish president s comments irresponsible. Reporters did go to the Monroe County compound and we were told by security guards to come back today. No doubt were following all the developments in this country which has been an ally of america for many, many years. No doubt we will have updates here on air and on the nbc 10 news app. Live from the digital operations center, Monique Braxton. An american who arrived in istanbul for a layover just before the attempted coup described the chaos as he tried to leave a cafe in the city to head to the airport. As i was going deeper into the city i actually got stopped by military, they were yelling at me to turn back and they were it was an armored i saw some guns and yelling so i decided dont ask any questions, run away. The american was able to get a cab but couldnt get to the airport. He was eventually able to find a hotel.
