2016-07-16来源:Xinhuanet

TEHRAN, July 16 (Xinhua) -- Iran's Foreign Ministry on Saturday advised its citizens in Turkey to stay in their place and not to move out, after a military coup was announced there.

"Dear compatriots and visitors to Turkey, please stay in your place and avoid attending the crowded areas," a statement by the foreign ministry was cited by the country's official IRNA news agency.

"Hearken to and consider the announcements by the security officials of Turkey" for further developments following the coup attempt, the statement said.

A military statement on Turkish media said Friday the armed forces have fully seized power in the country but President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said early Saturday the coup attempt has failed, urging people to protect democracy.
