An undated capture taken from a video shows Fetullah Gulen, leader of a group that the Turkish government alleges was behind the defeated 2016 coup in Turkiye and has designated the Fetullah Terrorist Organization's (FETO),.
Social media accounts associated with the Fetullah Terrorist Organization (FETO) have claimed that the organization's ringleader, Fethullah Gulen, has died.
The U.S.-based cleric Fethullah Gulen, who built a powerful Islamic movement in Turkey and beyond but spent his later years mired in accusations of orchestrating an attempted coup against Turkish leader Tayyip Erdogan, has died.
Gulen, who had lived in self-imposed exile in the United States since 1999, denied involvement in the putsch but his movement was designated as a terrorist group by Turkey.
Since the failed coup, his movement has been systematically dismantled in Turkey and its international influence has declined.
