ANKARA, Turkey — A confident Turkish prime minister dismissed opposition calls for early elections Thursday and met with the country’s military chief to defuse tensions over the government’s probe into an alleged military plot to overthrow the Islamic-rooted government.
Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s Islamic-leaning government detained over 50 high-ranking military officers this week for allegedly plotting to overthrow his government in 2003, a year after his party came to power.
