Responding to criticism from the EU, which has said the military has too much influence on public life in Turkey, the government is seeking to introduce reforms aimed at bringing the status of the armed forces into line with countries in the Union.
Reagirajući na kritike EU da vojska ima prevelik utjecaj na javni život u Turskoj, vlada teži pokretanju reformi koje će za cilj imati da se status oružanih snaga dovede na razinu sa statusom oružanih snaga zemalja članica Unije.
