Ali Haydar Saltık (1923, Istanbul - 8 April 2011) was a Turkish general. He was Commander of the First Army of Turkey (1981 - 1983) and then Commander of the Turkish Army (1983 - 1985). He was Secretary-General of the Presidential Council.
In September 1979 General Kenan Evren ordered a hand-written report from Saltık on whether or not a coup was in order, or if the government merely needed a stern warning. The report, which recommended preparing for a coup, was delivered in six months. Evren kept the report in his office safe, and launched the 1980 Turkish coup d'état.[1]
