TURKEY-POLITICS-COUP-TRIAL-ARMY
Supporters and family members of detained Turkish army officers demonstrate in front of a courthouse in Ankara on September 2, 2013. Turkey's former army chief and more than 100 other suspects went on trial on September 2 over a 1997 bloodless coup that toppled the country's first Islamist head of government. General Ismail Hakki Karadayi stands accused with 102 co-defendents of "overthrowing the Turkish government by force." Prosecutors have called for a life sentence for Karadayi, who did not attend the hearing at an Ankara court due to ill health. Placards read: ''We are the soldiers of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk," referring to the founder of modern Turkey, "Our fight against fundamentalism goes for a thousand years" and "Army and people hand in hand. Independent Turkey.'' AFP PHOTO / ADEM ALTAN
