PM Yildrim: "Friday evening is a stain on Turkish Democracy"

Speaking live on Turkish state TV Prime Minister Yildrim said:

"Friday evening is a stain on Turkish Democracy. Congratualte and kiss every citizen who stood up to this parallel state (Gulen) coup attempt. 

This uprising had nothing to do with the command structure of the armed forces. 

It was an uprising by the Terrorist Parallel state. I congratulate our brave commanders and officers.

In addition I would like to thank all our citizens, NGOS and the political parties who stood for our democracy.
