Coup leaders stand trial in Turkey
The two surviving leaders of Turkey's 1980 military coup, including a former president, went on trial on Wednesday on charges of crimes against the state.
The trial of retired Gen. Kenan Evren, who as military chief of staff led the coup and then led the country from 1982 to 1989, and retired Gen. Tahsin Sahinkaya, chief of the air force at the time, comes as Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan's Islamic-rooted government is curtailing the military's clout. (AP)
