Horrifying statement from the Ministry of National Defence! "There are almost no staff officers left"

The bill, which extends the term of office of force commanders to the age of 72, also offers the opportunity to promote non-staff generals, brigadier generals and admirals to the corps rank. MPs asked why this change was needed. The Director General of Personnel of the Ministry of National Defense, Major General Orhan Gürdal, provided information on the subject and said, “After the July 15 coup attempt, 95 percent of the staff officers turned out to be FETÖ members, we expelled them, FETÖ had infiltrated here.”

ALMOST NOTHING LEFT

According to the news in the Sözcü newspaper, it was announced that currently 66 out of 199 generals in the Land Forces and 17 out of 65 generals in the Air Force are staff officers. Due to the dismissals, there are almost no staff officers with the rank of general who will enter this year's Supreme Military Council exams and whose turn for promotion is coming.

PARENTS REACTED

Following these statements, CHP Malatya Deputy Veli Ağbaba said: “Turkey experienced things it had not experienced even in war. The Chief of General Staff of this country was captured in the coup, all those closest to him turned out to be FETÖ members. You disrupted the chemistry of the TSK, you destroyed it. If there was a death penalty, you would have given the death penalty to İlker Başbuğ.”

"WAS IT NEVER TAKEN INTO INTELLIGENCE?"

Participating in the discussions at the TBMM Planning and Budget Commission, the İYİ Party Adana Deputy and Alpaslan Türkeş’s daughter Ayyüce Türkeş asked, “I am horrified, this is a disastrous situation, how can 95 percent of the staff be members of FETÖ, was no intelligence received?” and said the following:

"This information given is truly a disaster. The government needs to criticize itself very seriously. How could they not know about the staff coming there, how could intelligence not be gathered? I am also the daughter of a staff colonel. My father always said that they had to go through a very serious intelligence process to enter the military school, the war academy, and to become a staff officer. I am horrified, we are completely horrified."
