Tens of thousands of people continue to rally on Turkey's streets following Turkey's failed military coup. The anti-coup rally organized by Turkey's main secularist opposition CHP but also backed by other opposition groups as well as the ruling Islamist-rooted AKP. Opposition leader Kemal Kilicdaroglu said "This is a day to unite, a day to stand up against coups and dictatorial regimes, a day to let the voice of the people be heard. We are all together in Taksim today. Today is a day we made history all together." We talked with deputy leader of CHP Erdal Aksunger on "Republic and Democracy" rally in Istanbul.
