Turkey's National Intelligence Organization (MİT) has said that Adil Öksüz, a key coup figure whose whereabouts have been unknown since July 2016, did not serve for the spy agency and was not recruited as an informant, in response to claims made by main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) leader Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu.
