Turkey is marking the third anniversary of the July 15 failed coup attempt against the government of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan with prayers and other events remembering its victims.

Erdoğan on Monday attended a prayer recitation at a mosque on the grounds of the presidential complex, kicking off a series of events to commemorate the crushing of the coup.

On July 15, 2016, factions within the military used tanks, warplanes, and helicopters to try to overthrow Erdoğan's government. A total of 251 people were killed and some 2,200 wounded as the coup plotters fired on people or bombed parliament and other government buildings. Around 35 alleged coup plotters were also killed.

Turkey has blamed US-based Muslim cleric Fethullah Gülen, a former Erdogan ally, for the coup attempt. Gülen rejects the accusation.
