Turkey failed coup: Government detains almost 300 presidential guards
The Turkish government has detained almost 300 members of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's guard, and suspended more than 10,000 passports with the owners either in custody or on the run. Interior Minister Efkan Ala said the country's gendarmerie forces would be responsible to the Interior Ministry and not the army in the future.

Report: 30 broadcast vehicles to be purchased for presidential palace
A total of 30 outside broadcast vehicles will be purchased for a large live broadcast center that was established at the new presidential palace -- dubbed AK Saray (White Palace) -- in order to closely monitor public demonstrations live from the palace, according to a Turkish daily.
According to a report published in the Taraf daily on Thursday, a large live broadcast center that will enable the palace to access all Mobile Electronic Systems Integration (MOBESE) cameras across Turkey was earlier established at the presidential palace. Now, the palace is preparing to purchase 30 outside broadcast vehicles to be able to monitor all details of public demonstrations held across the country.
MOBESE is a city information and security system being utilized across Turkey.
The Taraf daily report stated that President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan ordered the National Police Department's Communications Unit to search for a broadcast vehicle to be purchased for the palace. After this order, the Communications Unit reportedly found a broadcast vehicle that cost $300,000. Erdoğan then ordered the unit to increase the number of broadcast vehicles to be purchased to three. With these additional two vehicles, the cost reportedly increased to $1 million.
After the large increase in price, Erdoğan reportedly decided to refer the purchase of the broadcast vehicles to the Undersecretariat for the Defense Industry (SSM) instead of the National Police Department. According to the Taraf daily, Erdoğan then ordered the number of vehicles to be purchased by the SSM to be increased to 30. The SSM is now trying to purchase those 30 broadcast vehicles, the report stated.
A special broadcast center was earlier established at the presidential palace in Ankara with the technical infrastructure that will enable Erdoğan to monitor the country's population of 77 million. Images collected by MOBESE cameras, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and security cameras from across the country will be transferred to the live broadcast center at the presidential palace.
From this center, Erdoğan will be able to follow social incidents, military operations and even violations of traffic rules instantaneously. There are reportedly 143 screens at the center.
Information from the Police Information System (Pol-Net), the Prime Ministry's Disaster and Emergency Management Directorate (AFAD), the Gendarmerie and the National Intelligence Organization (MİT) will also be directed to the center.
In addition, thanks to two workstations established by the Information Technologies and Communications Authority (BTK) at the center, the president will also be able to access individuals' private information through the BTK.
Since Erdoğan also holds the title of commander-in-chief, he will also be able to preside over military operations from the center.
Special rooms at the center have been allocated to the police, MİT and the gendarmerie and the National Police Department's passwords for the 3G and MOBESE systems have been shared with the officials from the newly established monitoring center.
Erdoğan's presidential palace, AK Saray, has long been the center of a national controversy for its lavishness. Constructed inside the Atatürk Forestry Farm (AOÇ) in Ankara on an area of 300,000 square meters, Ak Saray may even be touted as the world's largest residential palace. Ak Saray has also been at the center of heated debates as Erdoğan simply ignored a number of court orders to halt construction.

188 officers affected by Balyoz coup plot case change Turkish General Staff’s administrative level
The Balyoz (Sledgehammer) case, which started in 2010 when a journalist submitted a suitcase full of alleged evidence that the Turkish General Staff was planning a coup to topple the government, ended with the acquittal of all of the 236 suspects last week, though the case has changed the army’s administrative staff for good.
The Balyoz case not only affected the former suspects, their families and their careers, but has also made unchangeable differences at the army’s administrative level. A total of 188 generals or admirals and staff officers from all forces of the Turkish General Staff were affected from the Balyoz case, which lasted for five years.
The force commanders and the command element of the General Staff for the coming 15 to 20 years would have been selected from these 188 staff officers on active duty, of which 59 were generals or admirals, but most of their careers were ended by the Balyoz case.
The Balyoz coup plot case saw 45 state officers on active duty from the Land Forces, 27 from the Air Forces, 98 from the Naval Forces and 18 from the Gendarmerie become suspects, and most of them were either forced to retire or discharged from the General Staff as a result.
The Naval Forces was the most affected by the case, with 98 active duty state officers and admirals becoming suspects. The Naval Forces also saw the highest number of suspects from one force at the rank of general or admiral with 24, followed by the Land Forces and Air Forces with 16 each and the Gendarmerie with three.
Balyoz was an alleged military coup plot targeting the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) drafted in 2003. The military was alleged to have planned drastic measures to foment unrest in the country in order to remove the AKP from power. The measures included bombing two major mosques in Istanbul, an assault on a military museum by people disguised as religious extremists and the raising of tension with Greece through an attack on a Turkish plane that was to be blamed on the Aegean neighbor.
An Istanbul court sentenced 331 of the 365 suspects to prison terms on Sept. 21, 2012, while 34 suspects were acquitted. The Court of Appeals approved the judgments of 237 suspects, while it ruled that 88 suspects should not be punished. The 237 (one suspect died in jail while serving his term) suspects had received jail terms varying between 13 and 20 years.
The retrial of the Balyoz case began on Nov. 3, 2014, after the Constitutional Court ruled in June 2014 unanimously that the convicted suspects’ rights were violated concerning “digital data and the defendants’ testimonies.” All Balyoz suspects and convicts, including high-ranking generals, were released in June 2014 after the Constitutional Court’s ruling.
All 236 suspects in the “Balyoz” (Sledgehammer) coup plot case were acquitted March 31 after the case’s prosecutor argued that digital data in the files submitted as evidence in the case was “fake” and did not constitute evidence.
Former generals Çetin Doğan, Özden Örnek, Halil İbrahim Fırtına, Dursun Çiçek, Bilgin Balanlı, Ergin Saygun, Nejat Bek and Süha Tanyeri, along with Engin Alan, who is now a Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) deputy, were among the 236 suspects.

SUMMARY
=======
The Armenian Genocide (Armenian: Հայոց ցեղասպանություն, Hayots tseghaspanutyun), also known as the Armenian Holocaust, was the Ottoman government's systematic extermination of 1.5 million Armenians, mostly citizens within the Ottoman Empire. The starting date is conventionally held to be 24 April 1915, the day that Ottoman authorities rounded up, arrested, and deported from Constantinople (now Istanbul) to the region of Ankara 235 to 270 Armenian intellectuals and community leaders, the majority of whom were eventually murdered. The genocide was carried out during and after World War I and implemented in two phases—the wholesale killing of the able-bodied male population through massacre and subjection of army conscripts to forced labour, followed by the deportation of women, children, the elderly, and the infirm on death marches leading to the Syrian Desert. Driven forward by military escorts, the deportees were deprived of food and water and subjected to periodic robbery, rape, and massacre. Other ethnic groups were similarly targeted for extermination in the Assyrian genocide and the Greek genocide, and their treatment is considered by some historians to be part of the same genocidal policy. Most Armenian diaspora communities around the world came into being as a direct result of the genocide.Raphael Lemkin was moved specifically by the annihilation of the Armenians to define systematic and premeditated exterminations within legal parameters and coin the word genocide in 1943. The Armenian Genocide is acknowledged to have been one of the first modern genocides, because scholars point to the organized manner in which the killings were carried out. It is the second most-studied case of genocide after the Holocaust.Turkey denies the word genocide is an accurate term for these crimes. In recent years, Turkey has been faced with repeated calls ...

SUMMARY

Turkey (Turkish: Türkiye [ˈtyɾcije]), officially the Republic of Turkey (Turkish: Türkiye Cumhuriyeti [ˈtyɾcije d͡ʒumˈhuɾijeti] (listen)), is a transcontinental country in Eurasia, located mainly in Western Asia, with a smaller portion on the Balkan peninsula in Southeast Europe. Turkey is bordered by eight countries: Greece and Bulgaria to the northwest; Georgia to the northeast; Armenia, the Azerbaijani exclave of Nakhchivan and Iran to the east; and Iraq and Syria to the south. The country is encircled by seas on three sides, with the Aegean Sea to the west, the Black Sea to the north, and the Mediterranean Sea to the south. The Bosphorus, the Sea of Marmara, and the Dardanelles, which together form the Turkish Straits, divide Thrace and Anatolia and separate Europe from Asia. Ankara is its capital but Istanbul is the country's largest city. Approximately 70–80% of the country's citizens identify as ethnic Turks. Kurds are the largest minority at about 20% of the population.
At various points in its history, the region has been inhabited by diverse civilizations including the Assyrians, Greeks, Thracians, Phrygians, Urartians, and Armenians. Hellenization started during the era of Alexander the Great and continued into the Byzantine era. The Seljuk Turks began migrating into the area in the 11th century, and their victory over the Byzantines at the Battle of Manzikert in 1071 symbolizes the start and foundation of Turkey. The Seljuk Sultanate of Rûm ruled Anatolia until the Mongol invasion in 1243, when it disintegrated into small Turkish principalities. Beginning in the late 13th-century, the Ottomans started uniting these Turkish principalities. After Mehmed II conquered Constantinople in 1453, Ottoman expansion continued under Selim I. During the reign of Suleiman the Magnificent the Ottoman Empire encompassed much of Southeast Europe, West Asia and North Africa and became a world power. In the following centuries the state entered a period of decline with a gradual loss of territories and wars. In an effort to consolidate the weakening social and political foundations of the empire, Mahmut II started a period of modernisation in the early 19th century, bringing reforms in all areas of the state including the millitary and bureaucracy along with the emancipation of all citizens.In 1913, a coup d'état effectively put the country under the control of the Three Pashas. During World War I, the Ottoman government committed genocides against its Armenian, Assyrian and Pontic Greek subjects. Following the war, the conglomeration of territories and peoples that formerly comprised the Ottoman Empire was partitioned into several new states. The Turkish War of Independence, initiated by Mustafa Kemal Atatürk and his colleagues against occupying Allied Powers, resulted in the abolition of monarchy in 1922 and the establishment of the Republic of Turkey in 1923, with Atatürk as its first president. Atatürk enacted numerous reforms, many of which incorporated various aspects of Western thought, philosophy, and customs into the new form of Turkish government. The Kurdish–Turkish conflict, an armed conflict between the Republic of Turkey and Kurdish insurgents, has been active since 1984 primarily in the southeast of the country. Various Kurdish groups demand separation from Turkey to create an independent Kurdistan or to have autonomy and greater political and cultural rights for Kurds in Turkey.
Turkey is a charter member of the UN, an early member of NATO, the IMF and the World Bank, and a founding member of the OECD, OSCE, BSEC, OIC and G-20. After becoming one of the first members of the Council of Europe in 1949, Turkey became an associate member of the EEC in 1963, joined the EU Customs Union in 1995 and started accession negotiations with the European Union in 2005 which have been effectively stopped by the EU in 2017 due to Turkey’s path toward autocrat ...

The Bosphorus, the Sea of Marmara, and the Dardanelles, which together form the Turkish Straits, divide Thrace and Anatolia and separate Europe from Asia. Ankara is the capital while Istanbul is the country's largest city and main cultural and commercial centre, classified as a leading global city. Approximately 70–80% of the country's citizens identify as ethnic Turks. Kurds are the largest minority at about 20% of the population.
At various points in its history, the region has been inhabited by diverse civilizations including the Assyrians, Greeks, Thracians, Phrygians, Urartians, and Armenians. Hellenization started during the era of Alexander the Great and continued into the Byzantine era. The Seljuk Turks began migrating into the area in the 11th century, and their victory over the Byzantines at the Battle of Manzikert in 1071 symbolizes the start and foundation of Turkey. The Seljuk Sultanate of Rûm ruled Anatolia until the Mongol invasion in 1243, when it disintegrated into small Turkish principalities. Beginning in the late 13th-century, the Ottomans started uniting these Turkish principalities. After Mehmed II conquered Constantinople in 1453, Ottoman expansion continued under Selim I. During the reign of Suleiman the Magnificent the Ottoman Empire encompassed much of Southeast Europe, West Asia and North Africa and became a world power. In the following centuries the state entered a period of decline with a gradual loss of territories and wars. In an effort to consolidate the weakening social and political foundations of the empire, Mahmut II started a period of modernisation in the early 19th century, bringing reforms in all areas of the state including the millitary and bureaucracy along with the emancipation of all citizens.In 1913, a coup d'état effectively put the country under the control of the Three Pashas. During World War I, the Ottoman government committed genocides against its Armenian, Assyrian and Pontic Greek subjects. Following the war, the conglomeration of territories and peoples that formerly comprised the Ottoman Empire was partitioned into several new states. The Turkish War of Independence, initiated by Mustafa Kemal Atatürk and his colleagues against occupying Allied Powers, resulted in the abolition of monarchy in 1922 and the establishment of the Republic of Turkey in 1923, with Atatürk as its first president. Atatürk enacted numerous reforms, many of which incorporated various aspects of Western thought, philosophy, and customs into the new form of Turkish government. The Kurdish–Turkish conflict, an armed conflict between the Republic of Turkey and Kurdish insurgents, has been active since 1984 primarily in the southeast of the country. Various Kurdish groups demand separation from Turkey to create an independent Kurdistan or to have autonomy and greater political and cultural rights for Kurds in Turkey.
Turkey is a charter member of the UN, an early member of NATO, the IMF and the World Bank, and a founding member of the OECD, OSCE, BSEC, OIC and G-20.
