Speaking at the opening of lessons at Turkey's Land Forces Military Academy, top General of the Turkish Land Forces, Ilker Basbug, noted that the military would "continue to be on the side of protecting the secularity of the state" in Turkey. General Basbug directed many of his comments at different religious sects and groups across the country, which he maintained had become the focal point of activity against Turkey's secular structure.
