There is only one explanation of firing at civilians from tanks: This is the biggest treachery and ignominy in all of history.

A coup is an action that abolishes respect for humanity. One who advocates coups cannot advocate Islam. Democracy exists in Islam.

The right and left wing that are against the coup and violence in Turkey should come together in unity and act in alliance.

Today, all political parties have to be in alliance. The plotters of the coup are only a handful before the 82 million-strong Turkish people.

Turkish people are known with their faith in God. Takbir (praising God) is food for our souls. Hearts find peace by praising God.

Democratic struggle; even with harshest words or opposition is acceptable. But firing at civilians can never be accepted.

A coup is an insult to people that amounts to saying, ‘You can’t think properly, I’ll think for you.’

On the night of the coup attempt, before anyone else appeared on TV, I said that it couldn’t have been done with the army’s chain of command.

With this recent incident, God solidified the bonds of brotherhood in our people. People saw the menace of lovelessness.

God showed the menace of lovelessness and anger and how it can turn into shocking cruelty.

Existence of cold, cruel, ruthless people lays the ground for coup plotters. A coup plotter would like to shed blood; this is great peril.

The way to gridlock coups is modernism, high-quailty, arts and all kinds of freedom.

Being against the coup doesn't mean supporting a political party. As the people, we must emphasize that we're against the coup and united as one.

They might be aiming to create hatred in the society against our soldiers and thus to weaken our army in their feeble minds. We, as a nation, would never fall for such a plot.

Coups have always paralyzed Turkey and dragged us backwards. Coups never bring any solution; on the contrary it just makes problems grow.

Had our citizens remained silent against the coup, the coup plotters could have been successful even with half the power they had. No coup can be successful without the support of people living in that country.

Our President is doing what is right by seeking refuge in his nation and asking them to protect their homeland, their state and nation. The most effective solution against the coup is the reaction of the people.

May God render our people instrumental in making the morality of Islam prevail in the world. May He make His Mahdi and Jesus Messiah appear and honor us with their appearance.

May God increase the beautiful loyalty, courage, patience and good morality of our people even further and deem our nation powerful and exalted.

Secularism, democracy and freedom are the principles of Islam.

Blood-shedders, warmongers cannot be the Mahdi or his followers. The Mahdi will not shed a single drop of blood.

This is not the time to see political differences. This is a time for the unity of all patriots, regardless of differences.

Killing one person is like killing the whole world. A Muslim would never want to be the means for the killing of a single civilian.

They seek to occupy Turkey, annex Istanbul, the Aegean and leave only a small part of Anatolia to our people. We won’t allow that.

There are no Muslim Brotherhood groups in Turkey. Such claims in the foreign media are inaccurate.
