Turkey's former Chief of General Staff, Gen. İlker Başbuğ, has left the courtroom where a hearing of the ongoing "Internet Memorandum" case was being held today.

Başbuğ reportedly said the trial was "frivolous" and left the courtroom after the court had him listen to a phone recording between Ergenekon suspects İbrahim Şahin and Fatma Cengiz.
