Turkey Prez behind failed coup: Alleged mastermind
US-based cleric Fethullah Gulen, accused by Turkey's government of planning the failed military coup in July, said he is sure that President Tayyip Erdogan was behind the coup. Gulen added that the failed coup allowed Erdogan to dismiss several perceived opponents in the government and military. Notably, around 1 lakh people from Turkey's security forces, military, and judiciary were suspended.
