I haven't read into it. All I've heard is that Erdogan blamed the coup on Gulen.
Exsqueeze me? Gulen was Erdogan's Islamist mentor. I thought those two were peas in a pod?
But lately Erdogan has fallen out with Gulen, and he blamed the coup on Gulen.
Past coups in Turkey have been by the secular/Kemalist military against Islamists, but this one has me confused.
At a guess, I'd say that Erdogan is up to his usual tricks, always trying to grow his dictatorship powers.
A few years ago Erdogan faked charges against hundreds of military, journalists and academics.
This could be more Erdogan games.
