A Turkish court says it has charged eight more suspects, including a university president, over an alleged secularist conspiracy to topple the Islamic-rooted government.
The court in Istanbul says the suspects charged Friday included Prof. Mehmet Haberal, the president and owner of Ankara's Baskent University, and three other former university presidents.
Prosecutors claim that dozens of military officers, police officers, journalists and academics plotted a coup.
Haberal had organized meetings with secularists opposed to the government, reportedly with the aim of forming a new political movement or party. Haberal also owns pro-secular Kanal B television, whose headquarters were searched by police Monday.
