ISTANBUL, TURKEY - JULY 16: (EDITORS NOTE: Image contains graphic content.) A man shot during clashes with the military is carried away from the entrance to the Bosphorus bridge on July 16, 2016 in Istanbul, Turkey. Istanbul's bridges across the Bosphorus, the strait separating the European and Asian sides of the city, have been closed to traffic. Reports have suggested that a group within Turkey's military have attempted to overthrow the government. Security forces have been called in as Turkey's Prime Minister Binali Yildirim denounced an 'illegal action' by a military 'group', with bridges closed in Istanbul and aircraft flying low over the capital of Ankara (Photo by Gokhan Tan/Getty Images)
