Turkey: warrants issued for 117 officers over failed coup
[Ynet] ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... 's state-run news agency ...and if you can't believe the state-run news agency who can you believe?... says authorities have issued detention warrants for 117 military officers‐most of them on active duty‐as part of an ongoing investigation into last year's failed coup attempt blamed on a US-based Moslem holy man. Anadolu Agency said police had launched operations in 45 provinces to catch 98 active officers and 19 others who were previously purged from the military, over suspicion that they secretly communicated with members of holy man Fethullah Gulen ... 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... 's movement through payphones. The agency said the suspects were allegedly given instructions during those calls. Turkey launched a large-scale crackdown against Gulen's movement after the July 2016 coup attempt, dismissing more than 110,000 people from government jobs‐including the military‐and arresting more than 50,000 people.
