Over the past two weeks, Turkish security forces have detained 160 individuals suspected of having ties to the organization of Fethullah Gulen, 90 of whom have been arrested, interior minister Ali Yerlikaya informed on social media.

Raids were carried out in 39 provinces.

Those detained include individuals involved in the Gulen movement’s financial, educational, and external relations structures.

Turkish authorities accuse the Gulen movement, which they refer to as FETO (Fethullahist Terrorist Organization), of involvement in the attempted coup that took place in Turkey on July 15, 2016.
