2018-05-18
[Al Jazeera] Ottoman Turkish prosecutors issued arrest warrants for 101 members of the air force, including one general and several colonels, over suspected links to the organization of a religious leader blamed for the 2016 coup attempt, state-run Anadolu news agency reported.

Thirty-three military personnel were taken into custody on Thursday, the Hurriyet daily said, adding that the investigation launched by prosecutors in Ankara spread across 21 other provinces.

Ankara blames the movement of Fethullah Gülen
... a Turkish preacher living in Pennsylvania whom the current govt of Turkey considers responsible for all the ills afflicting Turkey and possibly the entire world...
, a US-based self-exiled religious leader, for the attempt to take over the government. He denies any involvement.

The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...just another cheapjack Moslem dictatorship, brought to you by the Moslem Brüderbund....
has been under a state of emergency since July 2016 after about 300 people were killed during the failed coup.
