| [Hurriyet Daily News] Police forces have raided four schools in the capital city of Ankara with alleged linked to the Justice and Development Party's (AKP) ally-turned-foe, U.S.-based Islamic scholar Fethullah Gulen. Anti-terror units from the Ankara Police Department searched four schools on charges of being connected with "the parallel state structure," and one person who resisted the search was taken into custody on Sept. 21, the state-run Anadolu Agency reported. A "parallel structure" within the state is said to have been established by Gulen's followers, known as Gulenists, who have been charged with wiretapping hundreds of thousands of state officials through operations by members employed in the judiciary and police. Upon an order by the Ankara Chief Prosecutor's Office in relation with an ongoing investigation into the "Fethullahist Terror Organization" (FETÖ), the police forces launched simultaneous raids into Private Samanyolu Education Institutions, the Private Atlantik Ahmet Ulusoy campus, Private Nurettin Topcu Primary Education Institutions and Atlantik Education Institutions, the Anadolu Agency said. Various documents, computers and hard discs were seized during the raids. Last week, prosecutors asked for a prison sentence of up to 34 years for Gulen, accusing him of terrorism for allegedly conspiring against President Recep Tayyip Erdogan ...
