In a July Aspen Security Forum meeting, Votel, as Commander of the US Central Forces (CENTCOM), regretted the outcome of the failed coup:

“After the coup attempt, many close allies of the US military in the Turkish military were put in prison. We undoubtedly have relations with many Turkish leaders, especially military leaders. I am worried about how these relations will be affected.”
Joseph Votel (July 2016)  [2]
