Turkey’s government said Tuesday it was fending off an “attempted mini-coup” by elements in the police and judiciary, Reuters reported. The ruling AK Party had in the past survived military coup plots, Deputy Prime Minister Ali Babacan said, adding that the party would not now yield to a current corruption investigation he said targeted the government but was already damaging the national economy. “These latest formations in the judiciary and the police, we can’t call it a coup, but a mini-coup attempt,” Babacan said. Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan earlier accused the “Hizmet” (Service) movement led by Turkish cleric Fethullah Gulen of creating a “state within a state.”
