US not concerned over arrests of generals in Turkey in alleged coup plot

23 February 2010 / THE ANATOLIA NEWS AGENCY, WASHINGTON
A spokesman with the US State Department has said Washington had no concerns over the recent arrests of senior former generals in Turkey in a suspected coup plot.

"These issues in the evolution of politics and society in Turkey are not new. I don't think we have any specific concerns. Obviously, any action taken should be in accord with Turkish law and should, you know, be transparent," Philip Crowley on Monday told a daily press briefing.

Crowley described alliance between Turkey and the US as "the most successful alliance in history," adding that the two countries had been working closely on issues such as the Middle East peace process, Cyprus, Iraq and Iran.
