In a speech to gathered crowds in Istanbul Saturday evening Erdoğan said that his government was in charge again, saying they were “back at work”.

“You went out in to the squares, that’s what ruined their plot. And for the next week we need to continue this solidarity, we must keep up these meetings.”

A group of anti-government rebels have reportedly commandeered a warship and taken the head of the Turkish navy hostage at the country’s Golcuk naval base as the government struggles to maintain control of rebels leading an uprising.

The rebellion comes as the government admitted “many” military commanders have been taken hostage at the country’s army HQ and eight men landed a Turkish military helicopter in Greece and asked for asylum.
