All those responsible for failed coup will be beheaded: Erdogan

‘Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has warned that he will chop off the heads of traitors while the country marks the first anniversary of a failed coup.
Addressing a thousand-strong march on Saturday, Erdogan warned that his government was seriously mulling reintroducing the death penalty.
“First of all we will chop off the heads of those traitors,” he said.
“Did my people have guns in their hands? They had their flags — just as they do today — and a weapon way more effective. They had their faith,” he added.
