ANTALYA, Turkey — One of the newest members of the Orlando Magic was in Turkey, as the country’s military attempted to overthrow the government Friday.
Serge Ibaka tweeted that he is in Antalya, which is on the southeast coast of the country, about 300 miles from the capital, Ankara, where most of the danger is centralized.
Ibaka also tweeted that he is safe and he hopes the situation is over soon.
State-run Anadolu Agency says Prime Minister Binali Yildirim has called all legislators for an emergency meeting on Saturday.
Parliament Speaker Ismail Kahraman earlier said that a bomb hit one corner of a public relations building inside the parliament complex, injuring some police officers.
He said there were no fatalities and that all legislators were safe at a parliamentary shelter.
Troops loyal to the government are moving to crush the coup attempt, arresting some 130 anti-government forces. A helicopter was flying over the area where the parliament is located and shots were being fired.
A source at the presidency told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity that 13 military officers who had earlier tried to forcibly enter the presidential palace were among those arrested.
