Turkey blames Fethullah Gulen for the 2016 coup attempt. In an emailed statement late Friday, Fuller rejected claims he was in Turkey "directing the coup attempt." Anadolu Agency said the prosecutors suspect Fuller of being in contact with people accused of participating in the coup attempt. Turkish officials have accused Fuller of being instrumental in obtaining permanent U.S. residency for Gulen. He expressed serious doubt, however, over any CIA involvement in last year's "pathetic, ill-conceived and amateurish, coup attempt."
