This verdict has created a rift in the military and political structures of the Turkish system of government, particularly among the high rank Generals, the Secularists and Islamists political groups in addition to continued citizens demonstration that demanded an appeal against the verdict that has condemned the Turkish highest General and a hundred twenty seven other military personnel in yesterday's final trial.
