ANKARA, Turkey — The Turkish military said Monday that it would not heed a call to investigate a top general accused of setting up a rogue force to scuttle the country's bid to join the European Union.
The general staff command called the allegations that one of its brass had abused his office 'imaginary' and politically motivated. 'Parts of this indictment went too far and had more political than legal content,' the command said in a statement."
