Turkey detains 10 retired admirals over open letter

Turkey on Monday detained 10 retired admirals after a letter signed by more than 100 of them warned against a possible threat to a treaty governing the use of Turkey's key waterways.

The Ankara chief public prosecutor's office said arrest warrants had been issued for the 10 former commanding officers.

Prosecutors also ordered four other suspects to report to Ankara police within three days, opting not to detain them because of their age.
