Turkey’s President Abdullah Gul said he’s working to ease the tensions raised by a corruption inquiry that has rattled the government, which blames an Islamist movement run by a former ally.
In an interview with BloombergHT television late yesterday, Gul said he’s trying to ensure that the “organs of the state work in harmony.” The probe has led three cabinet ministers to quit after their sons were caught up in it, and the government removed hundreds of top police officials as it fought back.
