智课网TOEFL备考资料土耳其将领集体辞职终结军方干政一托福阅读机经背景 Turkeys government and military leaders are meeting for days of talks focusing on promotions of senior military staff. But this years annual meeting of the countrys Supreme Military Council is very different, for it is now the government that is calling the shots. The mass resignation of Turkeys top four military commanders on Friday is widely seen as bringing an end to decades of political meddling by the countrys generals. But concerns remain over what the prime minister will do with his newly acquired power. 土耳其政府和军方领导人针对晋升资深军方人员一事进行了好几天的会谈，但是今年土耳其的最高军事委员会年度会议和往常非常不同，因为现在是由政 府当家作主。上星期五，土耳其四名最高军事指挥官集体辞职，人们广泛认为，集体辞职终结了几十年来军方将领对政治的干预，但是仍然有人关注总理如何运用他 新获取的权力。 Powerful army With the Turkish army forcing four governments from power since 1960, every democratically elected prime minister has had to work in the long shadow of the countrys generals, none more so than the present prime minister, Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

Now we see that what civilian government wants to do in Turkey can only be checked at the ballot box, not the generals anymore. 琼加尔说：“这是土耳其在漫长的民主化道路上迈出的一大步。在土耳其， 军方似乎一直比民选官员更强势。现在我们看到的是，土耳其文人政府的施政必须得到选民的认可，而不再听从军方将领的意见。” The Taraf newspaper has been
