Turkish government–Gülen movement conflict

A significant benefit of the Parliamentary Inquiry Commission on the July 15, 2016, coup attempt is that it has registered all accessible information and documents about the Gülen movement, thus providing public access to them. 

Since last week, Turkey has been suffering one of the most intense heatwaves in a century.

In this hear, the thousands of people are taking part in shifts in the "justice march" of main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) leader Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu. They are struggling under the burning sun over their head and also the melting asphalt under their feet. 

Government circles have been reacting to Republican People's Party (CHP) head Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu for not carrying any party symbols on his "justice march." 

It is understandable why he is doing this because he is criticizing the government's stance on justice and the judiciary.

Almost a year has passed since the July 15, 2016 coup attempt, but the intelligence dimension of this insurrection is still debated.

Former National Intelligence Organization (MİT) Undersecretary Emre Taner emphasized the "external" dimension of the coup in the Nov. 9, 2016 session of parliament's inquiry commission.

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on June 2 filed legal papers against former Pentagon official Michael Rubin over perceived “insults.”

The current, authoritarian government in Turkey is not big on dissent (they have beaten protestors of the Turkish regime at a march in this country). Or human rights.

So what’s real trouble for them is opposition and dissent from a famous, well-known person.

A Turkish court on May 26 demanded the country's Justice Ministry to strip U.S.-based Islamic preacher Fethullah Gülen of his Turkish citizenship, state-run Anadolu Agency has reported.        

The 11th criminal court in the southern province of Adana made an official application to the ministry to withdraw Gülen's citizenship.        

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan appointed four members of the Board of Judges and Prosecutors (HSK) on May 19, three days after the parliament appointed seven members to the restructured board as part of the constitutional amendments approved on April 16.

Turkish Justice Minister Bekir Bozdağ on May 8 met with U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions in Washington, reiterating Ankara's request for the extradition of U.S.-based Islamic preacher Fethullah Gülen, who is accused of masterminding the July 2016 failed coup attempt.

Turkey's highest judicial regulatory body dismissed another 107 judges and prosecutors on May 5 over their alleged links to U.S.-based Islamic preacher Fethullah Gülen, who is accused of masterminding the July 2016 failed coup attempt, state-run Anadolu Agency has reported.
