'They will pay a heavy price for their treason': Turkish soldiers surrender on Bosphorus Bridge after overnight military coup FAILS, ending with 200 dead and President Erdogan vowing revenge (photos and video)

Recep Tayyip Erdogan (top left, surrounded by supporters) made his triumphant return back to Istanbul after his forces quelled the coup on Friday evening, ending with 104 plotters dead while 90 people - 41 of them police and 47 are civilians - fell as 'martyrs'. The rebel army faction - who call themselves the 'Peace Council' - claimed they were trying to overthrow the government to 'protect
human rights' and restore democracy from Erdogan's Justice and Development Party, AKP, which has repeatedly faced criticism from human rights groups and Western allies over its brutal crackdowns on anti-government protesters. However the rebels were seen off by unarmed civilians who lay down in tanks during the night, before climbing on top of them and posing victoriously this morning (left). Erdogan has blamed his old rival Fethullah Gulen, currently on a self-imposed exile in the U.S., for orchestrating the uprising and has urged supporters to remain in the streets, warning against a new flare-up. Up to 100 rebel soldiers surrendered on Bosphorus Bridge after their failed uprising, as 1,563 were arrested in connection with the dramatic coup, which lasted approximately five hours
