Putschist soldiers from 66th Armored Mechanized Infantry Brigade Command came to Vatan avenue with 2 tanks and 5 armored personnel carriers and opened fire on people. Seeing that the citizens opposition was increasing progressively, putschist soldiers started to return to their quarters. A tank which did not return was taken over by the citizens. Former Istanbul Security Branch Manager Mithat Aynacı was in the tank in military camouflage. Aynacı was first detained and then arrested.
