Erdogan Blames US-Based Cleric Gulen's 'Terrorist Organization' for Attempted Military Coup –'Not going anywhere': Erdogan gives defiant Istanbul airport speech, downplaying attempted coup | 16 July 2016 | Recep Tayyip Erdogan has made a public statement on the attempted coup after his plane landed at Istanbul's Ataturk Airport early Saturday morning. The Turkish president blamed the bloody events on forces loyal to exiled cleric Fethullah Gulen, saying they would pay for it. Erdogan has addressed crowds of supporters after emerging at Ataturk Airport. Erdogan claimed that forces loyal to US-based cleric Fethullah Gulen were behind the attempted coup, saying that Friday's events had shown that “the Gulen structure is an armed terrorist organization.” The exiled preacher has resided in the US [Saylorsburg, Pennsylvania] for over 15 years. President Erdogan was in Turkey's Mediterranean resort town of Marmaris at the time the events began to unfold in Ankara and Istanbul, he said, claiming that the hotel he had stayed in there was also bombed, but he had left it by then.
