Istanbul, Turkey:
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Sunday that Turkey would consider reinstating the death penalty after the attempted coup.
"In democracies, decisions are made based on what the people say. I think our government will speak with the opposition and come to a decision," he said, reacting to crowds in Istanbul calling for capital punishment.
"We cannot delay this anymore because in this country, those who launch a coup will have to pay the price for it," he told supporters after attending funerals for the putsch victims.
