On the night of July 15, I had to cancel my plans to go out because I found myself running upstairs to hide from a group of rogue soldiers who raided my office.
Two captains and 10 privates, who were part of the coup attempt, landed their military helicopter in the parking lot of Hurriyet, Turkey's largest independent newspaper where I serve as the digital content coordinator. Armed with G3 assault rifles and hand grenades, they quickly subdued our security guards and entered the building after midnight.
