A total of seven lieutenants from the Turkish navy were arrested recently on charges of plotting to assassinate two admirals as part of the trial concerning the alleged activities of Ergenekon. Istanbul prosecutors accused the lieutenants of planning the assassination of two admirals, identified as 'Ugur' and 'Metin.' Metin is believed to be the current Naval Commander Metin Atac due to retire in August, and Ugur is allegedly Esref Ugur Yigit, who is expected to replace Atac (Milliyet, July 29)."
