Whistleblowing website Wikileaks has claimed it is under a ‘sustained attack’ after announcing it will publish 300,000 emails and 500,000 documents related to the Turkish government.
Wikileaks said supporters of Erdogan’s Justice and Development Party (AKP) should ‘pay attention’ to the exposé, which comes four days after a failed coup attempt in Turkey.
‘Our pending megaleak of docs both helps and harms AKP. Are you ready to find it all?,’ the website teased on Monday.
Just six hours after posting that message on Twitter, the site reported it was under a ‘sustained attack’.
‘We are unsure of the true origin of the attack. The timing suggests a Turkish state power faction or its allies. We will prevail and publish,’ it said.

The website, which was founded by Australian Julian Assange in 2006, promised 300,000 thousand internal emails from Erdogan's AKP through to July 7, 2016, would still be published on Tuesday.
The non-profit organisation claimed it is neither pro or anti-AKP.
‘Our position is that truth is the way forward. 100k+ docs serves all sides,’ it said.
So far more than 6,000 people have been detained since the failed coup attempt that saw gunfire and violence on the streets of Ankara, Istanbul and elsewhere, on Friday.

President Erdogan has refused to rule out the execution of coup plotters and said the Turkish people want the death penalty - abolished more than a decade ago - for those involved in last weekend's failed military coup.
'The people on the streets have made that request,' Erdogan said in a CNN interview on Monday.
'The people have the opinion that these terrorists should be killed ... Why should I keep them and feed them in prisons for years to come, that's what the people say.'
CNN also quoted Erdogan as saying official papers would be filed within days to request the extradition of cleric Fethullah Gulen from the United States.
Turkey says Gulen masterminded the coup attempt but the 75-year-old denies any involvement.

This Dictator is only in power because America needs him to be. Once they've had enough of his despotic antics, he'll be long gone!

You really believe this? Yes, in bed with the US. Until about last Friday but, you think they can now remove him? You exaggerate their influence. He is now surrounded himself with zealots and, is the head of one of the largest armed forces on the planet. Not going going to happen.

I hope they are as revealing as we all hope. I don't trust the Turkish Premier one inch.
