Video: President Erdogan and opposition unite in Turkey rally

More than a million people have attended a pro-democracy rally held in Istanbul in response to Turkey’s failed coup attempt last month.

The massive rally on Sunday united the country’s president, the prime minister and two opposition party leaders around a single issue for the first time in years.

In his speech, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan told demonstrators, “Each and everyone of you fought for freedom and democracy. All of you are heroes.”
