Terrorists in Syria Pray for Erdogan

The terrorists in Syria voiced their support for Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in their web pages and accounts on social media networks and prayed for his victory in the ongoing developments in his country.

The terrorists in Syria are praying for Erdogan to eventually come triumphant against his opponents and the orchestrators of the coup in Turkey.

The terrorists rushed to the web to declare their concerns and support for Erdogan after a section of the Turkish army staged a coup against his government.

Turkish government officials said the army factions that have staged the coup are receiving orders from Islamist opposition leader Fetullah Gulen who is in exile in the US. Hundreds of Gulen’s followers in the army, police and judiciary were arrested and jailed last year. Prosecutors in Turkey’s capital announced on Wednesday that “Ankara has prepared a file for extraditing the US-based preacher Gulen, who is accused of leading a terrorist organization, as well as trying to infiltrate and overthrow the elected government”.

Fetullah Gulen and his supporters issued a statement last night to “condemn the coup” in an apparent attempt to distance themselves from government accusations.

The opposition, including the Kurdish minority, have also condemned the coup attempt.

Turkey is a NATO member, which has been convulsed by military takeovers at least three times over the past half-century. The coup has taken the lives of 265 people, including 41 policemen, 49 civilians and 104 coup supporters, and injured 1,440 others. Also 2,900 pro-coup forces have been arrested so far.
