/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.
