Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan approved new leaders for the army, navy and air force, Resmi Gazete reported.
The appointments come amid a continuing government purge of officers and civilians suspected of participating in a failed coup last year.
Erdogan approved the appointments and met with the commanders later in the day.
The military council yesterday selected Yasar Guler, currently commander of the gendarmerie, to take over command of the army. It also appointed Vice Adm. Adnan Ozbal to be commander of the navy, and Hasan Kucukakyuz will command the air force.
