Watch CNN Turk's final moments on air before soldiers shut it down

CNN's sister network CNN Turk was shut down briefly as coup plotters attempted to own the airwaves early Saturday.

Dramatic footage showed soldiers -- apparently engaged in the coup -- entering the Dogan Media Center in Istanbul, while the network's anchor reported that troops had entered the CNN Turk building in the center.

A helicopter carrying around 15 soldiers landed in the parking lot and entered the building, forcing CNN Turk employees to leave. "One story by one story they came up to the top where CNN Turk's studio (is)," CNN Turk editor in chief Ferhat Boratav told CNN.

"At gunpoint, we had to evacuate the floor."

Pro-government demonstrators then entered the facility and police intervened, while the CNN Turk employees remaining in the building experienced some "very tense moments." At least one shot was heard.
