Six retired generals arrested in Turkey
Six retired generals, including former commanders of the land forces and air force, were taken into custody on Tuesday over their alleged role in the 1997 coup that ousted the country's first Islamist-led government, Turkish media outlets reported.
The six were among 10 suspects that prosecutors referred to Ankara's 12th High Criminal Court for approval of arrest warrants.
On May 8, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan called on the prosecutors to quickly finalize the legal case.
