Military Men that Attacked Erdogan’s Hotel Arrested
The Turkish authorities arrested 36 of the 37 military men who attacked the hotel in Marmaris, where President Recep Tayyip Erdogan stopped, in the recent coup attempt.
As the Turkish Deputy Prime Minister Numan Kurtulmush reported at a press conference in Ankara, the detention occurred last night in the province of Mugla in southwestern Turkey.
Eleven military suspected of involvement in the attack on Erdogan’s hotel were detained. In addition, detentions took place in the Marmaris region. The operation involved helicopters.
"Thirty-six of the 37 soldiers, who participated in the attack on the hotel where the President stayed, have been detained and one junior officer is still wanted. Their participation in the operation to capture the hotel was a voluntary one," Kurtulmush said. -02D-
