一名土耳其少將在美失蹤 傳申請庇護

A Turkish admirAl posted in the United States has disappeared and is reportedly seeking asylum after being sought by Turkish authorities to return home and participate in legal proceedings following charges of military espionage.

土耳其一名駐美海軍少將失蹤，有報道說，他正在尋求庇護。此前，土耳其當局要求他回國，參與因軍事間諜指控而進行的審訊。

Turkish Navy Rear Admiral Mustafa Ugurlu, posted at NATO's Allied Command Transformation headquarters in Norfolk, Virginia, is reported to have turned in his identification papers and disappeared on July 22.

這名土耳其海軍少將名叫穆斯塔法·烏古魯，在位於美國維吉尼亞州諾福克的北約盟國司令部工作。據報道，烏古魯已經交還了他的證件，於7月22日失蹤。

Ugurlu was ordered home by Turkish authorities last month after an attempted coup July 15.

土耳其7月15號發生未遂政變後，烏古魯得到了有關當局要他回國的命令。

A Turkish official told Reuters news agency that two other officers stationed in the U.S. were called back to Turkey after the coup attempt, but neither of them was ordered into detention.

一名土耳其官員告訴路透社，政變後還有兩名土耳其駐美軍官被召回，但沒有遭到拘捕。

A U.S. Navy official told reporters more than 100 Turkish military personnel are in the United States – some at the NATO base and some taking part in exchanges at U.S. military institutions. Ugurlu was among hundreds of Turkish military officers released from their duties July 22.

一位美國海軍軍官告訴記者說，美國有一百多名土耳其軍事人員，一部分在北約基地工作，一部分是美國軍事機構的交換人員。烏古魯是上個月軍事政變後被解職的數百名軍官中的一位。

U.S. agencies such as the State Department, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services and Department of Homeland Security have not yet commented on Ugurlu's case.

美國國務院、公民與移民服務局，以及國土安全部等部門還沒有對烏古魯的案子發表任何評論。

NATO has referred reporters to the Turkish government for information about Ugurlu.

北約建議記者向土耳其政府瞭解有關烏古魯的情況。
