/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Turkish General Staff Chief, General Ilker Basbug
called on his people for patience.

"The army has recently become a subject of criticism and even
persecution. The malicious attacks forced 7 naval officers to commit
suicide," Gen Basbug said. "Your professional occupation demands a
chivalrous spirit. You should be strong, otherwise you will make your
enemies overjoyed."

"Officers do not complain but resolve problems. I do call on you to
be optimistic and stand ready to perform you duty," he said, Aksam
newspaper reported.
