Retired generals are told to shut up...

Osman Pamukoğlu, Rıza Küçükoğlu, Hasan Kundakçı, Osman Özbek ve Altay Tokat (from L to Right) VIA
A very ironic case. Both Prime Ministry and the Office of General Staff are anxious with the retired generals some of whom are very vocal in mass media. One of the possible reprimands will be that they won't be allowed military buildings any more. Well, at first sight this is an act of censorship but in a more deeper sense I am not sure. These guys are talking for more democracy but they sort of organize the public for a more militarized society and in the mean time some of their speeches causes uneasiness with the current military command...

And now if someone else other than me would tell the 'acting' generals to shut up as well . . .
