On July 15, mobile phone networks played a 13-second voice message from Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan before connecting calls. In the message, he honoured the "martyrs" who died during the coup attempt and those "veterans" who took to the streets.
"As president, I send congratulations on the July 15 National Day of Democracy and Unity and wish the martyrs mercy and the heroes health and well-being," said the message read by Erdoğan.
The message could be heard on Turkey's largest network Turkcell, and Vodafone network.
Also just after midnight salah prayers from victims of the coup bid rang out from minarets of 90,000 mosques across Turkey.
