Turkish Military Braces For Shakeup
ANKARA [MENL] -- Turkey's military, under the control of the Islamist
government of Prime Minister Recep Erdogan, was bracing for its second
shakeup in as many years.
On Aug. 1, the Supreme Military Council convened for its annual session
to decide on promotion and retirement in the military. The decisions were
expected to determine the fate of scores of generals and admirals under
arrest and charged with plotting a coup against Erdogan.
