Coup attempt hours after inauguration of Reza crushed; order restored to Hasanistan

Just roughly two hours after the inauguration of democratically-elected president Asghar Reza, a rouge citizen and self-declared "general" known as Kaab el-Qasentini has attempted to overthrow the democratic government of Hasanistan and establish a military dictatorship.
At 19:34 WET, the terrorist el-Qasentini released a statement declared that he had overthrown the government, installed himself as president and freed the citizens from the former government's "tyranny". He also said that a new Hasanistan would begin under the supervision of the military.

The statement that started the coup

Three minutes later, President Rezareleased his own statement regarding the coup. Reza said that el-Qasentini had no power or army, that his coup plot will fail and the Bogdanoff brothers will punish him.

Reza's statement

At 19:51, Reza released another statement (this time in video form) denouncing the terrorists and calling on the citizens to support him.

At 20:15, Hasan Çakar attempted to establish a line of communication between Reza and el-Qasentini to end the coup but el-Qasentini did not reply. Following discussions between Çakar and Reza on how to deal with the coup quickly so the situation could not escalate further into a civil war, Reza ordered for el-Qasentini's citizenship to be revoked and for him to be exiled. At 20:49, el-Qasentini was exiled and Çakar announced that order had been restored to Hasanistan. The announcement was praised by citizen Onur Aydoğan, who declared that el-Qasentini's defeat is official.

Declaration of victory

Investigations and inquiries into the coup will begin tomorrow and if needed, there will be a large scale purge of all institutions and state of emergency will be declared.
This betrayal has not been the first time of coup threats . The single-party regime allowed democratic reform following a coup threat in 2013 and Tanju Çakar's government faced a unsuccessful coup attempt. The Hasani government will work harder in future to prevent these attacks on democracy from happening in future.
