Turkey President Tayiyp Erdogan
Turkey's military commanders will report to the defence minister and military academies will be shut down, President Tayiyp Erdogan says.
He announced moves on Saturday aimed at bringing the military fully under civilian control after a thwarted coup attempt on July 15.
Erdogan, who made the comments in an interview with broadcaster A Haber, said Turkey's military academies would be replaced by a national defence university. The decision would be announced in the government's official gazette by Sunday.
