More than a million Turks gathered in Istanbul on Sunday for an anti-coup rally to mark the end of nightly demonstrations since the abortive military insurrection on the 15th of July.
President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan told the throng at the Yenikapi parade ground, "It is the Turkish parliament that will decide on the death penalty... I declare it in advance, I will approve the decision made by the parliament."
