TSK (Turkish General Staff)

The Turkish General Staff (TSK) is the highest military authority in Turkey, responsible for overseeing the country's armed forces, which include the Army, Navy, and Air Force. It plays a crucial role in national defense, military strategy, and operational command. The TSK also advises the government on security matters and contributes to international military collaborations. Historically, it has had significant influence in Turkish politics, particularly during periods of military coups. The TSK's leadership is typically headed by the Chief of General Staff, who is appointed by the President of Turkey.
