ANKARA
The Turkish Supreme Board of Judges and Prosecutors suspended on Thursday five prosecutors responsible for "illegally" stopping trucks belonging to Turkey's national intelligence organization that were carrying aid to Syria.
The body decided to suspend prosecutors Suleyman Bagriyanik, Ahmet Karaca, Aziz Takci, Ozcan Sisman and Yasar Kavalciklioglu until the investigation is completed.
In January 2014, the trucks were stopped in Turkey's southern Hatay and Adana provinces on the alleged grounds that they were loaded with ammunition.
Those prosecutors who made the decision to stop the trucks have been under investigation ever since.
When the investigation is over, it will be clear whether they will be dismissed from their profession.
