The coup plotters used messaging platform WhatsApp to communicate, says state news agency Anadolu. 

In the exchanges, the plotters said traffic heading towards Istanbul would be blocked and the video link from the government's emergency communications facility would be cut. 

A video of the alleged messages on Whats App has surfaced online.

A Turkish military helicopter has reportedly landed in northern Greece carrying eight men who have requested political asylum after being arrested, police say.

The group landed in the northern city of Alexandroupolis.

The Turkish government has indirectly accused exiled Islamic cleric Fethullah Gulen of being behind the coup.

Minutes ago, Prime Minister Binali Yildirim said  any country that would "stand by" Mr Gulen "won't be a friend of Turkey and will be considered at war with Turkey".

Mr Gulen lives in self-imposed exile in the United States.

He has previously been described as Turkey's second most powerful man.

In a statement, Mr Gulen rejected any suggestion he had links to the events, saying he condemned "in the strongest terms, the attempted military coup in Turkey".

Binali Yildirim says in his live address:

• The situation is "fully under control" and loyal commanders are in charge 
• The members of the armed forces detained span the military ranks, from low-level soldiers to senior officers
• Arrests are still being made but those who form the "backbone of the coup" are in custody

• The "first stage" of "this" is over and "all measures will be taken against those who attempted to discredit" the Turkish nation
• The Turkish government will examine if any intelligence failures occurred but "that time is not now"
• Echoing a call from the president's office earlier, he asks the public to fill town and city squares this evening 
• The PM will hold a parliamentary meeting at 12:00 GMT (13:00 BST)

Mr Yildirim says 161 people have been killed and 1,440 wounded in the coup attempt. 

This number does not include soldiers who backed the coup. he said, according to the AFP news agency.

The PM said around 20 of the coup plotters were killed, contradicting an earlier figure of 104 given by the acting army chief.

More than 2,800 members of the armed forces have been detained, he says.

Members of the "parallel structure" are in "the hands" of the Turkish justice system, Mr Yildirim says.

They will "face the justice they deserve", he adds.

PM Yildirim blames a "parallel structure" in the armed forces for the attempted putsch.

Turkish leaders often use this term to refer to exiled Islamic cleric Fethullah Gulen. He has denied any involvement in last night's events.

Prime Minister Binali Yildirim is giving a live televised address.

He says last night's events represent a "black stain for Turkish democracy".

Soldiers that have taken over the Chief of General Staff Headquarters are trying to negotiate to surrender, the state-run Anadolu Agency reports.

According to an official in the president's office, this is the last base where coup backers remain in control. 

Here's some more reaction from the international community:

Russia

The foreign ministry says it is "most concerned" by the events overnight.

In a statement it adds:

"The flare-up of the domestic political situation against the backdrop of the existing terrorist threats in this country and the armed conflict in the region brings a heightened risk to international and regional stability."

It does not appear that this coup attempt has been completely put down yet.

Operations to take back full control of the armed forces headquarters in Ankara continue, Reuters news agency quotes a Turkish official as saying.

Security forces are said to be securing the perimeter of the headquarters.

Meanwhile, acting army chief, General Umit Dundar, says soldiers who were part of the coup have taken many military commanders hostage. 

The army chief was speaking in a televised address.

The office of President Erdogan has called on supporters to take to the streets this evening.

A tweet reads:

"Regardless at what stage this attempt is, we need to be in the streets tonight. A new coup attempt could take place any minute."     

Acting army chief General Umit Dundar says 104 people he described as "coup plotters" have been killed. 

Earlier, we reported that 90 people had been killed in the clashes - 41 police officers, 47 civilians and two soldiers.

This brings the estimated total number of dead as a result of the coup attempt to more than 190.

Dramatic footage showed dozens of soldiers walking away from their tanks with their hands up on a bridge over the Bosphorus in Istanbul, after they closed it off to traffic all night.
