Turkey's chief prosecutor today announced charges against 86 people accused of plotting to topple the government.
Aykut Cengiz Engin said the group, including at least one former general, journalists, academicians and businessmen, was charged either with forming or belonging to a terrorist organisation, or of provoking an armed uprising with the aim of bringing down Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
A court must now decide within two weeks whether to open a case against them.
