Asylum-seeking Turkish general growing Gen. Uğurlu, seeking asylum in the United States

August 11, 2016 By administrator

Asylum-seeking generalsGen. Mustafa Zeki Uğurlu, a high-ranking Turkish military officer on a U.S.-based assignment for NATO, was also seeking asylum in the United States after being recalled by the government. The state-run Anadolu Agency said the general left his post in Norfolk on July 22, one week after the coup attempt. However, a photo on the official NATO website showed him attending an international meeting in his uniform on July 27.

One official told Reuters that the Foreign Ministry had sent instructions to Turkish diplomatic missions around the world where those suspected of links to the plotters were thought to be working, ordering them back to Ankara as part of the investigations.

Çavuşoğlu had previously said around 300 members of the Foreign Ministry have been suspended since the coup plot, including two ambassadors. He said on Aug. 11 that two officials in Bangladesh fled to New York and another official had fled to Japan through Moscow.

“We will return these traitors to Turkey,” Çavuşoğlu said.

Additionally, more than 200 members of the military, including nine generals, wanted in connection with the failed coup were still at large, according to officials.

Turkey says 103 generals, admirals detained after Turkey’s failed coup attempt

July 18, 2016 By administrator

103 general suspendedA total of 103 generals and admirals have been detained for questioning across Turkey over the failed coup attempt on July 15, as part of an operation that included crucial military seats, while operations on some army headquarters continued on July 18.

Anadolu Agency said 41 of the detained high-ranking soldiers were jailed pending trial as of the afternoon of July 18.

The commander of the 2nd Army, Gen. Adem Huduti, and its executive officer and Malatya Garrison Commander, Maj. Gen. Avni Angun, were among the arrested ranking generals.

Former Air Force Commander Gen. Akın Öztürk, who has been described as the ringleader of the foiled uprising, was also arrested.

As part of the operations on alleged coup attempters, police teams entered the Air Force Academy in the Yeşilköy neighborhood in Istanbul’s Bakırköy district on July 18, detaining four soldiers, including a colonel.
According to sources, 25 generals and officers held a secret meeting at the campus and removed surveillance cameras and computer hard disks afterwards.

A cell phone belonging to the academy’s commander, Maj. Gen. Fethi Alpay, was reportedly found in a trash bin.

Alpay was detained and additional technical personnel were dispatched to the academy to remove batteries from planes and helicopters located at the school’s field in order to prevent their unauthorized use.

Sources also said some weapons were removed from the academy’s ammunition depot.

Police and prosecutors also initiated an inspection at the İncirlik Air Base in the southern province of Adana, a key spot from where the U.S.-based coalition is conducting operations against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) in Syria.

The base’s Turkish commander, Brig. Gen. Bekir Ercan, was arrested earlier over alleged involvement in the coup attempt.
