"The Turkish prime minister Recep Tayyip #Erdoğan believes that 'the Cemaat' (US-based Sunni religious leader Fethullah Gülen), which he had allowed to grow stronger in key state institutions (such as the judiciary and the security establishment), is backstabbing him. ... so far, Erdoğan has had dozens of prosecutors and more than #2000 police officers reassigned." cc @question

"it is widely believed that the #Cemaat's network in the #judiciary put more than 200 retired and current #military personnel behind bars - including İlker #Başbuğ, former chief of general staff, who was convicted of leading and forming a terrorist organization" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C4%B0lker_Ba%C5%9Fbu%C4%9F cc @question

"Ironic, again, is that the Cemaat's strength at the ballot box is no more than #5% of the nation's eligible voters." "it is ironic that the main opposition #CHP (Republican People's Party) has only attacked the Erdoğan camp on the corruption saga, leaving the Cemaat out of the inquisitive spotlight." cc @question
