Anti-Coup Protests to End with Massive Rally in Istanbul

Anti-coup rallies across Turkey attended by millions of people since July 15 will culminate in a massive rally next week uniting Turks from all walks of life, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced Saturday. 
The president said live on air he would propose for Istanbul to host a rally on 7 August that would attract participation from citizens, political leaders, high-ranking military officers, as well as artists and athletes, according to Anadolu Agency (AA). 
"Let the nation be there together," Erdogan said. "Accelerating the process of normalization is extremely important for our country." Turks have continued to pour onto the streets every night to keep "democracy watch" since they were urged to "gather at the squares" by Erdogan on the night of July 15, when the Turkish state survived a coup attempt that the government said was carried out by rogue elements within the military loyal to a Fetullah Gulen-led organization. More than 230 people died and nearly 2,200 were injured during the attacks that night. 
Following the coup attempt, Turkish courts have begun a broad investigation across the country against FETO, whose members penetrated critical state institutions, including the judiciary and the military.
