US Consulate Officer Arrested in Istanbul

38
Turkish media reported that law enforcement officers detained a person suspected of involvement in the structures of Fethullah Gulen. Official Ankara calls Gülen the ideological inspirer of the attempted coup d'état, which was undertaken last summer. The materials state that the detention was carried out in Istanbul, and that the detainee is an employee of the American Consulate General.


Called and the name of the detainee. This is Metin Topuz, who, according to some data, has both Turkish and American passports.
After being detained, an employee of the American diplomatic mission in Istanbul was charged with involvement in acts of violating the Turkish constitution and attempting to overthrow the Turkish government.

Turkish security officials told media representatives that a representative of the US diplomatic mission in Istanbul was in touch with Fethullah Gulen, who Washington does not want to extradite to Turkey. In addition, it is reported that Topuz took part in the formation of the Gulenist terrorist cell (and considers members of the organization Gulen Ankara to be terrorists) in Turkish territory.

      brings American democracy to Turkey

      Shaw, again belay Recently there was an attempt of a military coup. And if the Russian special services had not intercepted the negotiations of the conspirators and had not warned Erdogan, then a military coup could have happened. But there they still perfectly remember the blockade of NATO countries during the events in Cyprus.

        The second positive point - it seems Erdogan lost hope with the Yankees to agree. And this is good...

    This is a vengeful Turkish nature - the FSA will never forgive the coup attempt. If only Erodagan ahead of time was wrong, they would not be controlled .. Overseas figures in this regard are very skilled ..

      This is a warning to the SGA. Apparently, the SGA continues to actively seek ways to replace Erodogan with a loyal figure. And Erdogan made it clear that he was "on the course" of their affairs.
      It is no secret that in Turkey there is a strong opposition of supporters of the country's withdrawal towards theocracy. Therefore, official Turkey insisted on the extradition of Fethullah.

      SGA has been operating for a long time - anyone, but not this one, but we'll figure it out. Sometimes it goes sideways.

        another point is interesting here, but for such demarches from NATO they will not trample? or is access to the channel more important than waste material from the embassy? laughing

          Joining NATO did not help Turkey with EU accession and protection from Kurdish support!

          And what are Kurds ?! - This is the mediated US war against Turkey.

      After a meeting with President of the Russian Federation V.V. Putin, Erdogan decided to inflict an asymmetric US response for insulting the Russian Federation.

    Apparently ours settled well in Turkey, and soon there the S-400 air defense system will be registered there and all data from the radar will be transmitted to our air defense CP.

      If so, then an analogy is seen. In the 30s, the West did everything for Molotov to sign an agreement with Rebintrop, ignoring Moscow's proposals, is history repeating itself? Oh, and "rake" you if Turkey does not start a war with Russia wassat Although it’s even starting, it’s still raking laughing And again, Russian soldiers will have to save the elect of God from another Holocaust. Or are you sure that the rangers will save you? hi

    Turkey must denounce the agreement on extraterritoriality of the US military in Turkey. Then give carte blanche to the police and counterintelligence to do everything on their own. Though in the capital, at least on the ground.

    If something unusual happens, it means it is beneficial to someone. The arrest of an employee from the Consulate General with dual citizenship (including the United States) is simply not done.

    And there is also the opportunity to make the Caribbean crisis the other way around. We brought missiles to Cuba in response to the deployment of NATO missiles in Turkey, I wonder what mattresses will do if the Sultan leases the Ingerlic of the Russian Armed Forces?
