http://www.euronews.net/ The detention of Ilker Basbug is the main talking point in Turkey.
Newspapers heralded the arrest on their front pages. Some detailed the accusations that he was the leader of terrorist organisation and had been preparing the ground for a military coup.
Others pointed to fact that it is unprecedented in modern Turkey.
One Istanbul resident said: 'Whoever makes mistakes must be held accountable whether it is an ordinary man or a Chief of Staff or a politician. Whoever acts against the people, illegally, and unjustly must face trial.'
