General Staff of the Turkish Armed Forces

The government is seeking to extend the tenure of Chief of General Staff Gen. Yaşar Güler, who normally should retire due to age limitations this August.

A bill submitted to parliament stipulates extending the age limit from 67 to 72 for the chief of general staff.

Turkey's Chief of General Staff Yaşar Güler met U.S. Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley in the Belgian capital Brussels on May 18, according to a statement by the Turkish General Staff.

Güler and Milley gathered for the NATO's Military Committee Conference held in Brussels.
