[SUB]Turkish soldiers blocked Istanbul’s Bosphorus Bridge.
[/SUB]An army group in Turkey says it has taken over the country, with soldiers at strategic points in Istanbul and jets flying low in the capital, Ankara.
Access to YouTube, Facebook and Twitter is blocked in all of Turkey.
A statement read on TV said a "peace council" now ran the country and there was a curfew and martial law.
It is unclear who the army group is. There are reports some senior army officials have been detained.
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said he would overcome what he called an uprising by a minority.
He called on people to take to the streets to oppose the uprising.
