Fethullah Gulen, a US-based Turkish religious scholar and political enemy of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, is believed to be behind the military coup in Istanbul and Ankara on July 15.

The 75-year-old man currently lives in the US but is still believed to have deep connections to the political, military, judicial, and media situations in Türkiye and several other Muslim countries around the world.

When accused of being behind the coup, Mr Gulen's Coalition for Common Values ​​denied being behind it and condemned the coup.

Accordingly, the Shared Values ​​Alliance considers itself “a non-profit organization serving the voice of people, culture and service organizations across the country.”

It is known that a few years ago, Mr. Gulen was an ally of President Erdogan until Mr. Gulen spoke out accusing Mr. Erdogan of autocratic rule in late 2013.

By early 2014, President Erdogan had hit back at the accusations against him.

According to a Turkish judicial source, after the coup in the country, Ankara prosecutors are preparing a case against the movement of Mr. Fethullah Gulen and sending it to the Department of Justice in Washington.
