Fethullah Gulen, US-based cleric once blamed for failed Turkey coup attempt, dies at 83
ai generated text
Fethullah Gulen, an 83-year-old US-based cleric, has passed away in the United States. He had been in self-imposed exile in the US since 1999. Gulen was initially an ally of Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan, but after going into exile, Erdogan's government accused him of being the mastermind behind a failed coup attempt in 2016. The coup attempt resulted in the deaths of over 250 people.
As someone who suffered under multiple military coups during the past five decades, it is especially insulting to be accused of having any link to such an attempt. I categorically deny such accusations.
Our intelligence sources confirm the death of the leader of the FETO organization.
Our religious leader the great Fethullah Gülen who dedicated his life to Islam and serving humanity has walked on to the horizon of his spirit.
Dear Friends, Our teacher passed away on October 20, 2024 at 21.20 in the hospital where he had been receiving treatment for a while. His doctors will make a statement about the hospital process in the coming hours.
He caused fractures in the Turkish political system that will be difficult to repair, and the coup worsened political polarisation.
