Several top Turkish Cabinet ministers will now have seats on the Supreme Military Council (YAS), as a key reform in the wake of the failed July 15 military coup by a group of rogue officers, the country's Official Gazette announced on Sunday, Anadolu Agency reported.
Under a statutory decree, seen as part of Turkey's current three-month state of emergency, the deputy prime ministers and the foreign, justice, and interior ministers will now join the prime minister, chief of General Staff, defense minister, and the force commanders on the council.
A number of military officers will no longer sit on the council, including some generals and admirals.
