Turkey's National Security Council (MGK) has blasted the United States administration for its "threatening language" over the arrest of American pastor Andrew Brunson.

Turkey's National Security Council (MGK), the top security body in the country, advised extending the ongoing state of emergency for another three months after a meeting on April 17.

Turkey's National Security Council (MGK), the top security body in the country, advised extending the ongoing state of emergency for another three months after a meeting on April 17.

In the 1990s, all the journalists and therefore the public in general knew the name of the General Chief of Staff and the secretary-general of the National Security Council (MGK).

Turkish press members used to cover the meetings of the MGK, attributing the same importance to them as they gave to cabinet meetings. 

Turkey?s top security board discussed security measures to be taken for the safety of upcoming snap elections amid growing concerns on the security conditions especially in the country?s eastern and southeastern Anatolian region. 

According to a report presented to the National Security Council (MGK), the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) has stockpiled 80,000 arms in the east and southeast, hiding behind the argument that it was "retreating due to the peace process."

President Recep Tayyip Erdo?an has apparently taken another step in his fight against ally-turned-foe, U.S.-based Islamic scholar Fethullah Gülen, with Turkey?s top national security body finally amending its top-secret national security document, in line with the threat allegedly posed by Gülen?s followers.

A day after the Council of Ministers held its last meeting of 2014, the top national security body, which brings together the country’s top civilian and military leaders, held its last meeting of 2014 at the new presidential palace.
