The plotters also tried to take control of state media\, where a forced statement was read declaring martial law. \nPresident Recep Tayyip Erdoğan\, using a FaceTime broadcast on CNN Türk\, called on the public to take to the streets to defend democracy. Millions of civilians responded\, confronting armed troops\, blocking tanks\, and occupying public spaces to resist the coup. \nThe coup attempt was crushed within 24 hours\, but at a high cost: over 250 civilians and security personnel were killed\, and more than 2\,000 people were injured. \nOn October 26\, 2016\, the Grand National Assembly of Turkey officially passed legislation declaring July 15 as "Democracy and National Unity Day"\, which marks the defeat of the 2016 coup attempt and celebrates the power of ordinary citizens to protect democratic rule.
