Fethullah Terrorist Organization

An Istanbul court has ordered the arrest of six suspected senior members of what the authorities call the Fethullah Terrorist Organization (FETÖ), who had been brought back to Turkey from Kosovo in an intelligence agency operation in March, state-run Anadolu Agency reported on April 11.

Turkey is prepared to carry out further operations in Syria and Iraq following last year's Euphrates Shield Operation, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has stated. 

Akin Ipek, one of Turkey’s richest men, was staying in the Park Tower Hotel in London when the police raided his television network in Istanbul. The raid was national news, so Mr. Ipek opened his laptop and watched an unnerving spectacle: an attack on his multibillion-dollar empire, in real time.

Turkey's Constitutional Court rejected the first individual application related to the July 2016 coup attempt on June 20, ruling out the application of Aydın Yavuz, who was detained on the grounds of allegedly participating in events at satellite company TÜRKSAT on the night of the attempted coup.

U.S.-based Islamic preacher Fethullah Gülen, the chief suspect behind Turkey's July 2016 military coup attempt, had the appeal against the removal of his official passport denied on May 25, a judicial official has said.        

Turkey's President has once again urged Albania to fight against so-called "Gulenists", known in Turkey as the FETO organization, during the Albanian President's visit to Ankara.

Turkey's Financial Crimes Investigation Board (MASAK) has probed around 30,000 people linked to the Fethullah Terrorist Organization (FETÖ), the followers of U.S. based preached Fethullah Gülen who is the leading suspect in the July 15 coup attempt probe, in around 400 cases, according to a government report.    
    

Dozens of Turkish diplomats, military officers and their families have sought asylum in Germany since the July 15 coup attempt, local officials have said. 

The Interior Ministry said 35 Turkish diplomatic passport holders had formally applied for asylum.

It's the same old story over and over again. If things are not going well in Turkey, then it must be outside forces who are behind this and who are also orchestrating an evil campaign against the country in the international media. 

This has been the standard line of the government and continues to be so.

An alleged member of the Fethullah Terrorist Organization (FETÖ) was included on the speakers list of a U.S. congressional panel on Sept. 14, discussing the aftermath of the coup attempt in Turkey, at a time when Ankara is pressing the U.S. to extradite Fethullah Gülen, the Pennsylvania-based Islamic preacher and the main suspect in the coup probe.
