Assasination attempts in modern Greek + Turkish history

Today I read of 2 planned assassination attempts on the life of Hilmi Ozkok.


The Chronicle said that during his tenure as the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, he opposed the plans of some of his peers who wanted to stage another coup d'etat and narrowly evaded assassination with a tip-off from the CIA on 3 February 2004.[8][9][10][11] Major general Fehmi Büyükbayram of the Ankara central garrison changed Özkök's schedule in order to protect him. Another attempt was allegedly prevented with a tip-off from the United Kingdom.[12] Özkök recognized the allegations made in the Chronicle,[13] but rejected some of the others, saying that the military would have taken the necessary precautions had they been true.[14] In a 2007 interview Özkök said that he did not eat from the army canteen. People inferred that he feared poisoning, but Özkök replied that he merely wanted healthier food.[15]
