Dozens Arrested Across Various Regions of Turkey

According to webangah News Agency, Turkey’s Interior Minister reported that at least 156 individuals have been arrested over the past⁤ two weeks in security operations targeting alleged members of the Fethullah Gülen ⁤association.

The minister stated those ⁢detained are accused of maintaining ties with Gülen network officials and promoting the group. The operations were conducted across 30 turkish provinces.

The Turkish government considers Pennsylvania-based cleric Fethullah Gülen, who leads the movement from exile, as the⁣ mastermind behind the failed July 2016 ‌coup ​attempt.

Ankara has repeatedly requested Gülen’s extradition from Washington on charges of orchestrating the coup, though these efforts have yielded no results to date.
