ANKARA -- Turkey’s military has said it will not be "dragged into politics" amid a deepening corruption scandal, the Associated Press has reported.
The army on Friday issued a statement in reaction to an Erdogan adviser's claims that the scandal "may be a plot to trigger a coup."
The government has already blamed the probe on a conspiracy to bring down the government, the AP reported.
Turkey’s military has staged three military takeovers since the 1960s but has seen its powers curbed under Erdogan’s decade in power, the news agency noted.
