The post of military adviser to the president of Turkey is being
abolished following the military coup attempt in the country,
Turkish TRT Haber TV channel reported July 27 citing the sources in
the country’s presidential administration.
According to the message, moreover, security measures will be
strengthened in the presidential palace in Ankara.
The main reason for the abolition of the post of military adviser
is the detention of Ali Yazici, chief military advisor to the
president of Turkey, involved in the mutiny, after the military
coup attempt in the country, the message said.
On July 15 evening, Turkish authorities said a military coup
attempt took place in the country. Meanwhile, a group of servicemen
announced about transition of power to them.
However, the rebelling servicemen started to surrender July 16 and
Turkish authorities said the coup attempt failed.
Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that the death toll as
a result of the military coup attempt stood at 246 people excluding
the coup plotters and over 2,000 people were wounded.
President Erdogan declared a three-month state of emergency in the
country on July 20.
