Turkish network claimed that the Turkish opponent of the president has been poisoned in a farm in the state of Pennsylvania.
On Wednesday evening, the Turkish odea TV channel claimed that Fethullah Gulen, a Turkish preacher opposed to the Turkish president in the United States, had been poisoned.
According to the Qatari newspaper Al-Arabi Al-Jadeed, the Turkish network claimed that one of Fathullah Gulen’s followers, 80, had poisoned him yesterday.
The network, citing several unnamed intelligence sources, claimed that the incident took place last night at Gulen Farm in the US state of Pennsylvania and that one of the sheikhs accompanying Fethullah Gulen also committed suicide at the same time.
According to the network, strict security measures have been taken at the farm so that no information can be leaked, and Fethullah Gulen’s organization has also ordered that no statements be made in this regard.
Oda TV also added that Burak Bakiroglu, a Turkish lawyer, posted a tweet on his account last night quoting a person close to Gulen as saying that he had been poisoned and that the intelligence services had intensified their activities. The US and the Federal Bureau of Investigation have raised.
Fethullah Gulen’s organization did not respond to the rumor until the news was published and did not deny or confirm it.
Ankara considers the Gulen organization – whose members, according to its officials, were capillary infiltrators in most Turkish government institutions and organizations – a terrorist and the perpetrator of the failed July 15, 2016 coup in Turkey, and has called on the United States to extradite him to Turkey. The coup, carried out by a large number of Turkish soldiers using military equipment such as tanks, fighters and helicopters, killed about 250 people and wounded more than 2,000.
