'Turkey warned to keep army out of political dispute,' by Christopher Torchia for Associated Press, with thanks to the Witch-King of Angmar:

ISTANBUL, Turkey -- The United States and European Union on Wednesday warned Turkey, a NATO member and close ally, to prevent its military from defying civilian leaders in a conflict between the Islamic-rooted government and the secular establishment.
