Ankara, Turkey. 12th May, 2015. Former Chief of General Staff of Turkish Armed Forces, General Isik Kosaner at the state funeral of former Chief of General Staff and 1980 coup leader Kenan Evren. General Kosaner resigned in 2011 along with the commander of three out of four Armed Forces in protest of mass detention of Armed Forces officers accused of plotting a coup. Most of the charges were revealed to be based on forged evidences and are now part of the ongoing feud between the ruling party and the “Gülen Organization”. © Piero Castellano/Pacific Press/Alamy Live News
