“ISTANBUL—Turkey’s Chief of the General Staff, Gen. Isik Kosaner, retired from his post Friday in a surprise decision, the state news agency Anadolu Ajansi said, triggering a fall in the Turkish currency, the lira.”

And I read on a Russian news site that actually the whole military leadership resigned.

Yep.
“The chief of the Turkish armed forces has resigned, along with the heads of the army, navy and air force, according to the state-run Anatolia news agency.
The reason for the resignations of Gen Isik Kosaner and the other heads remains unclear.
There has been a history of tension between the secularist military and the government of Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan in recent years.”
