Turkey: Gülenists cooperating with Israel’s Mossad, Erdogan says

Erdogan started off with 'hints' that Israel runs the show in Turkey.  Now he's up to full-blown accusations.

Via Hurriyet Daily News:

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erodogan said Jan. 31 that the Gülenists in the country, which he dubs “the parallel structure,” have joined forces with the Israeli intelligence service.

 “The sincere people backing this parallel structure should see with whom this structure is cooperating with,” Erdogan said, while addressing a meeting of the All Industrialist and Businessmen’s Association (TÜMSIAD) in Istanbul.

“Shame on them if they still cannot see that this structure is cooperating with the Mossad,” he said.

Erdogan accuses the followers of the U.S.-based Islamic scholar Fethullah Gülen for illegal wiretappings and a “coup attempt,” starting from the revelation of a large corruption investigation in December 2013.
