The National Security Council ((トルコ語:Milli Güvenlik Kurulu), MGK) comprises the Chief of Staff, select members of the Council of Ministers, and the President of the Republic (who is also the Commander-in-chief). Like the national security councils of other countries, the MGK develops the national security policy. The policy is expressed in the National Security Policy Document (), commonly known as "The Red Book".〔 The Red Book is sometimes called the "most secret" document in Turkey. It is updated once or twice a decade. ==History== The creation of the MGK was an outcome of the military coup in 1960, and has been a part of the constitution since 1961. In this way the 1961 constitution created what the Turkish scholar Sakallioğlu labels "a double headed political system: the civilian council of ministers coexisted with the national security council on the executive level, and the military system of justice continued to operate independently alongside the civilian justice system."〔 The role of the MGK was further strengthened with the 1982 constitution, adopted by the military junta in the aftermath of the 1980 military coup, before transferring power to civilian politicians. From then on its recommendations would be given priority consideration by the council of ministers. Furthermore, the number and weight of senior military commanders in MGK increased at the expense of its civilian members.〔Sakallioglu, Cizre. (The Anatomy of the Turkish Military's Autonomy ), ''Comparative Politics'', vol. 29, no. 2, 1997, pp. 157-158.〕 In 1992 then chief of general staff Gen. Doğan Güreş proclaimed self-confidently that "Turkey is a military state".〔Özcan, Gencer, "The Military and the Making of Foreign Policy in Turkey", In: Kirişci, Kemal (red.) & Rubin, Barry (red.): ''Turkey in World Politics.
