Gulen denies role in Turkey coup attempt
Fethullah Gulen, the 75-year old Islamic cleric that’s been accused by Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan of orchestrating the attempted military coup that rocked the country Friday night, has denied his involvement in the uprising.
"We condemn any military intervention in domestic

politics of Turkey," the Alliance for Shared Values group said in a statement.

"Comments by pro-Erdogan circles about the movement are highly irresponsible," it said.

Turkish Justice Minister Bekir Bozdag said in a television interview that members of the movement loyal to Gulen, who lives in Pennsylvania, were involved in the attempted military takeover.
