Turkish PM holds surprise talks with top general

PanARMENIAN.Net - Turkey's prime minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan met the head of the armed forces Ilker Basbug on Sunday, two days after the arrest of two retired generals over an alleged coup plot.

Media said both men attended a funeral and Prime Minister invited General Ilker Basbug to his office for unscheduled talks, after which a statement was expected, Reuters reported.

Last week authorities detained some 50 officers, later charging more than 30, in connection with an alleged 2003 plot to unseat the government.
