"A group of plotters of the failed
Turkish coup attempt used a WhatsApp group to communicate with each
other. Bellingcat has transcribed, translated, and analysed the
conversation, thereby cross-referencing the messages with photos,
videos, and news reports of the evening, night, and morning of July
15-16.
The transcript is composed of two
different sources. The first source is a video which was uploaded to
Twitter in the morning of July 16, and appears to show the conversation
on the phone of a surrendered, captured, or killed coup plotter. This
video revealed the WhatsApp conversation from its start at 21:15 to
22:45. The second source is 21 photos that show the rest of the
conversation, has already been transcribed. The photos are courtesy of Al Jazeera Türk’s Selahattin Günday, and we are thankful that he was willing to share them with Bellingcat. We owe many thanks to “Has Avrat”[1] for
fully translating the transcript, as well as contributing to the
analysis. All times mentioned are in the local time zone, which is EEST
(UTC+3)."
wow. I think this has to be the first time we can follow along with the coup plotters, and even see what they were doing via video. This is an historically amazing record.
