| [ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... has detained a senior aide to the US-based holy man Fethullah Gulen who it blames for the coup attempt aimed at ousting President Recep Tayyip Erdogan ... Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him... , an official said on Saturday. Security forces detained Hails Hanci in the Black Sea province of Trabzon, the official said, describing Hanci as a "right-hand man" of Gulen and responsible for transferring funds to him. Gulen denies being behind the failed coup. The official said Hanci "apparently" entered the country two days before the attempted putsch that erupted late on July 15. Separately, the official confirmed a report in the state-run Anadolu news agency that Turkey also detained the son-in-law of Akin Ozturk, a former air force chief already placed in durance vile Please don't kill me! as one of the key suspects. Lieutenant colonel Hakan Karakus was detained in Ankara, it said. Turkey had already Saturday detained one of Gulen’s nephews. |
