The Turkish court issued decisions on Monday, obliging to arrest the seven generals and admirals of the army of the country, who are accused of anti -government activities. Among the arrested are the commander of the educational building of the Turkish Army, General Nusret Taszheder and military intelligence commander General Ismail Beijing, Interfax reports.
The history of this military conspiracy dates back to 2003, when, according to Ankara’s official position, a group of representatives of the Supreme Military leadership of Turkey incurred plans for destabilizing the situation in the country and the region after the Islamic Party of Justice and Development came to power in the country.
Recall, on July 29, the head of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Turkey, General Yeshik Koshaner, as well as the commander in the country of the ground forces, Erdal Chalanoglu, and the head of the Air Force and the Hassan Aksai Navy resigned due to disagreements with the government. The resignations occurred two days before the Higher Military Council of Turkey, on which the command was to decide on raising a number of officers as a number of officers.
Earlier, the ministers advocated that 17 high -ranking military suspected of participating in an anti -government conspiracy in 2003 were sent to the reserve instead of raising. Ishyk Kosherin was appointed Commander -in -Chief of Turkish troops in August 2010, shortly after the Turkish authorities revealed the military conspiracy, which were accused of preparing the coup.
Since 1960, the Turkish army overthrew the government four times (the last time this happened in 1997), insisting on observing the secular status of Turkey and suspecting civil authorities of attempts at the country's Islamization. The ruling party of justice and development, headed by Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, some Turkish nationalists suspect of ties with Islamists and attempts to make Islam a state religion.
Now the opposition believes that the military accusations of a conspiracy are attempts to drown out the voice of the opponents of the government in political circles and in the army. The government rejects these accusations, answering that it is engaged in the modernization of Turkey and seeks to achieve its inclusion in the European Union.
