19. Turkey names new military chiefs after row

Turkey's government has appointed generals to two top posts, ending a stand-off with the military.

General Isik Kosaner will be the new overall head of the Turkish armed forces, while General Erdal Ceylanoglu becomes head of land forces.

The government had vetoed the army's original choice for head of land forces after allegations of a coup plot.

The military has agreed not to promote a number of senior officers implicated in the alleged 2003 plot.
