Turkey revokes passport of bitter Erdogan rival Gulen
2015-02-04
As the first neo-Ottoman Sultan, Tayyip I further consolidates his rule...
[Ynet] The Turkish government has cancelled the passport of ally-turned-foe Fethullah Gulen, local media reported on Tuesday, the latest salvo in a bitter feud between the US-based Moslem holy man and President Tayyip Erdogan.

Erdogan and his ruling AK Party accuse Gulen and his supporters of seeking to establish a "parallel state" in Turkey and of orchestrating a corruption investigation in 2013 which briefly threatened to engulf the government.

Gulen, who denies the accusations, stepped up his own criticism of Erdogan, saying he was leading Turkey "toward totalitarianism".
Of course. As would Mr. Gulen, possibly more subtley.

#1  Has Gulen set foot in Turkey in the last decade? I seem to remember he's been living in the commonwealth for forever and aye.
