Who thought this was orchestrated by another other islamist faction in the military? I never heard during any of the coverage that anyone thought the folks behind the coup weren't secular.
- learc83 10y agoErdogan immediately started referencing a "parallel government" which many commentators took to mean the islamist faction led by Fethullah Gulen. When I was reading coverage during the first few hours of the coup Fethullah Gulen was mentioned repeatedly as the possible orchestrator.
