Last group of military personnel in Turkey's coup surrenders

Xinhua, July 16, 2016 Adjust font size:

The last group of Turkish military personnel involved in a failed coup surrendered Saturday afternoon, state-run news agency Anadolu Agency reported.

About 150 plotters, including 13 high-ranking naval officers, were held out at the headquarters of the General Staff and the nearby gendarmerie compound in Ankara.

According to Prime Minister Binali Yildirim, the coup attempt was staged by followers of U.S.-based Islamic cleric Fethullah Gulen.

Earlier on Saturday, around 700 coup troops surrendered to police, and counter-terrorism officers would make detailed search of the compound, the report said. Endit
