Turkish Officials Make Arrests in Coup Plot

Turkish officials have arrested 12 people suspected of plotting to overthrow the government; all those detained have denied the charges and claim the allegations are politically motivated.

Among those arrested was Mehmet Haberal, the president of Ankara’s Basknet University and owner of Kanal B television station. Haberal has been an outspoken critic of the ruling AK Party and has organized meetings with several of its opponents over the past few months.

Those detained are said to be part of a push to form a new, more secular, political movement. That push has been part of the ultra-nationalist Ergenekon network which counts academics, journalists and politicians among its members.

The government has blamed Ergenekon for being part of several violent attacks over the past few years, attacks that were carried out in hopes of spurring a coup.
