Hard to see who is telling the truth - and who is using conspiracy theory - all I know people are dying...and being tortured..as Erdogan sees the coup as a gift from god....

Erdogan would love to get his hands on Gulen - who has been in the US since 1999...from article -

in late 2013, Erdoğan turned on Gülen and his followers, accusing them of being the new deep state, working to subvert the intelligence services and overthrow his government Although tensions had been building for some time, the immediate cause was a corruption scandal involving the children of senior AKP leaders, including Erdoğan, which the president claimed was a plot by the Gülenists.



So sad....
