AKP Chairman and President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan targeted the lieutenants, stating, "Who are you drawing these swords against? Now, regarding these individuals, a few reckless ones, they will be purged. It is not possible for them to remain within our army."

"HIGH-LEVEL COMMANDERS WILL BE DISMISSED"

Pro-government journalist Cem Küçük, who implied the lieutenants were coup plotters, made a striking claim on the Medya Kritik program broadcast on TGRT Haber.

The statements used by Küçük are as follows:

"A report from MİT has gone to Erdoğan. It has been determined that some commanders at the school are conducting activities against the government. About 300 lieutenants are involved in this in a planned manner. 650 lieutenants are not participating in this."
