Maduro ally Turkey berates Venezuelan opposition for uprising call

Turkey's government defended its ally President Nicolas Maduro in Venezuela on Tuesday, saying opposition calls for a military uprising against him threatened the constitutional order. Opposition leader Juan Guaido urged the military to help oust Maduro and violence broke out at protests in a new crisis point after years of chaos and divisions. The United States is among some 50 countries recognizing Guaido as Venezuela's president and has imposed sanctions to try and dislodge Maduro whom they say rigged an election last year.
