| [AlAhram] ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. It's headquartered in Belgium. That sez it all.... allies, the state-run Anadolu news agency said on Monday. Authorities summoned the worker last week for questioning over his relatives' alleged links to last year's failed coup attempt, days after the arrest of another consulate employee triggered a mutual suspension of visa services. Anadolu said the wife and daughter were barred from leaving the country and had to report to the nearest cop shoppe once a week as part of the terms of their release. Their relative, identified only as N.M.C., has still not himself reported for questioning, Anadolu said, having been summoned after the wife and daughter were detained in the Black Sea city of Amasya. The man's wife and daughter were detained over alleged links to the network of U.S.-based 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... , Anadolu said, blamed by Ankara for orchestrating the abortive putsch. Last Sunday, the U.S. mission in ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... and the Maw! They're comin' to get me, Maw! . Washington said charges linking him to Gulen were baseless. The prosecutor's office had said earlier that testimony from Topuz pointed to the wife and daughter being high-ranking members of Gulen's network. Gulen has denied any role in the failed coup. |
