The Supreme Military Council is convening today under the chairmanship of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. This important meeting will play a critical role in shaping Turkey’s defense and security policies.
In the first part of the meeting, the members of the age group will visit Anıtkabir and commemorate all our martyrs, especially Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk. This moment of silence is considered as an indication of respect for the deep-rooted history of the Turkish Armed Forces.
The agenda of the council includes the promotion procedures of colonels, the extension of their terms of office and, in particular, the evaluation of the promotion and appointment files of generals and admirals. This process aims to increase the operational effectiveness of the Turkish army.
The decisions to be taken during the meeting are expected to make significant contributions to Turkey’s defense structure. In addition, the appointments to be made during this process will also affect the balance within the army.
