Gülenist police

Akin Ipek, one of Turkey’s richest men, was staying in the Park Tower Hotel in London when the police raided his television network in Istanbul. The raid was national news, so Mr. Ipek opened his laptop and watched an unnerving spectacle: an attack on his multibillion-dollar empire, in real time.

One of the prime suspects in a military espionage case who was acquitted in February 2016, Bilgin Özkaynak, has opened a compensation case demanding 13.25 million Turkish Liras for his prosecution in which he served two years in jail as part of a Gülenist plot. 

Members of the Gülen movement were able to infiltrate the Turkish Armed Forces largely due to a lack of intelligence information from the National Intelligence Organization (MİT), according to former Chief of General Staff Gen. İlker Başbuğ.

For the past seven months the Turkish army and police forces have been fighting a quasi-uprising led by the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) in southeastern towns near the Syrian, Iraqi and Iranian borders, but on March 30 Prime Minister Ahmet Davuto?lu had a 3.5-hour meeting in Ankara on another security issue bothering the ruling Justice and Development Party (AK Parti).

President Recep Tayyip Erdo?an has said he was "betrayed" by the movement of U.S.-based Islamic scholar Fethullah Gülen, vowing to press ahead with the fight against what he refers to as the "parallel structure."
 

Columnist Emre Uslu, a former policeman, rejects claims that he is behind the much-speculated on Fuat Avni account.

A Turkish prosecutor has described the ?parallel structure? led by U.S.-based Islamic scholar Fethullah Gülen as an ?armed terror organization,? citing the Balyoz (Sledgehammer) case, in which allegedly Gülenist police and judiciary members had cracked down on army officers with the same accusation.
