Turkey on Wednesday replaced its top three military commanders – the land, navy and air force chiefs, after their terms in office expired, reshuffling the top of a military that has been shaken by last year's failed coup. 
The changes were made during a meeting of the Supreme Military Council, which discussed the appointments of high-ranking staff officers, as well as removal of military personnel. 
Naval commander Bulent Bostanoglu was replaced by Adnan Ozbal, a vice-admiral. Air Force commander Abidin Unal was replaced by Hasan Kucukakyuz, previously commander of the Turkish Warfare Air Force.
There was no suggestion that the three were being reshuffled due to the coup and President Tayyip Erdogan's spokesman, Ibrahim Kalin thanked the commanders for their service.
