Turkey's Envoy to Bulgaria: Arrests of Judges 'Planned' Before Coup
Source: Novinite
The attempted coup d'etat in Turkey was aimed at preventing arrests of judges and prosecutors that had been planned beforehand, the country's Ambassador to Bulgaria, Süleyman Gökçe, has said.
He has described the foiled coup as "a large-scale action of a terrorist organization we have been dealing with for years".
In an interview with private NOVA TV broadcaster, he has argued the attempt to seize the state had been scheduled to foil the prepared detentions of 2745 judges and prosecutors.
The magistrates were removed and arrested on Saturday as Turkish authorities were dealing with the aftermath of the coup attempt.
