And now, the plot [against the Gulen movement and AKP] is proven…

Mustafa Akyol

Something very important happened last Monday. A short statement from the Turkish General Staff noted that its investigators had gathered “evidence that might prove the existence of the document in question."

“The document in question” was quite a terrible one. It was a military plan to overthrow the AKP government and suppress the popular Islamic movement led by Fethullah Gülen, a retired preacher who lives in the U.S. One idea was to “find” weapons in the homes of people from the Gülen Movement by planting them there first and thus portraying the peaceful community as a terrorist group.
