Earlier this week, Turkey issued arrest warrants against 42 other journalists , of whom 16 have been detained for questioning. Turkey has detained more than 13,000 people in the military, judiciary and other institutions in purges since the uprising. Gulen, who lives in the United States and runs a global network of schools and foundations, has repeatedly denied any knowledge of the coup attempt. The country’s energy minister, meanwhile, lamented what he said was a lack of strong support from European nations and the United States toward Turkey’s efforts to counter the “anti-democratic” process. The U.S. has told Turkey to present evidence against Gulen and let the U.S. extradition process take its course.
