The world has been in what feels like a serious and very constant state of chaos and upset in recent months. Through all the turmoil that Turkey has had a constant run in as of late, it has not gone unnoticed. Now, we have received information that a military COUP is in effect. This is what we know so far…

Yildirim didn’t provide details, but said Turkey would never allow any “initiative that would interrupt democracy.”
Earlier, military jets were heard flying over the capital, Ankara.
Media reports said ambulances were seen in front of the Turkey’s military headquarters.
Istanbul’s Bosphorus Bridge and Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge were both closed on Friday, local television channels reported.
Turkey’s stock market lost 3% in a matter of minutes following the news.
These are without a doubt, crazy times, and the world needs prayer more than ever right now. This story is still developing. Stay tuned.
