Turkey investigates allegations of plot against Erdogan's daughter
2015-02-21
[The Peninsula] Turkish prosecutors on Friday launched an investigation into claims by pro-government media that the top foe of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan
... Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him...
had ordered the liquidation of his daughter.

Pro-government dailies Star, Aksam and Gunes alleged on their front pages on Friday that the plot to assassinate 29-year-old Sumeyye Erdogan had been ordered by US-based preacher Fethullah Gulen, whom the president accuses of seeking to overthrow him.

Gulen's lawyer as well as an opposition politician accused in the plot strongly denied the allegations.
No, no! Certainly not!
and called them a smear campaign.

The allegations were based on alleged Twitter messages between Umut Oran, a politician from the main opposition Republican People's Party, and Fuat Avni, a mysterious government whistleblower.

The chief prosecutor's office in Ankara deemed the reports as a "tip-off" and launched an investigation.

#4  Sometimes it's hard to tell the difference between Turkish politics and the plot of a Brazilian soap opera.

In Brazilian soap opera the good guys win.
