Chief of General Staff Gen. Necdet Özel made his one and only visit to Hasdal Prison in 2011 after his appointment as the top commander, the military said in a statement posted on its website, noting that the visit was made with feelings of responsibility and fidelity. “The second visit to Hasdal did not happen.” More than 100 high-ranking military officers have been arrested in recent years as part of ongoing separate prosecutions into alleged plots against the government since 2003.
