media. on july 15th 2016 members of the turkish military staged a coup to overthrow the regime of president. much of the turkish public believes that the mastermind behind the revolt was for too long the head of an islamist network who lives in exile and the united states. for the 1st time in recent turkish history civilians rose up against the military coup more than 250 people were killed in the ensuing clashes. from his home in pennsylvania the heads a worldwide movie. and he's viewed as heir to one's major adversary.

but did he really have the clout from so far away to instigate a coup inside turkey as there go on then claimed. that. some of you believed that all of the high ranking officers were on our side and that it was you know but unfortunately some of them did not demonstrate loyalty to our fatherland is that even one of. these illnesses or receiving their orders out of a pennsylvania. the outpouring of euphoria over the foiled coup ended in a widespread purge of supporters of the glenn movement. len offered his own interpretation of what happened on the night of the coup. on the one hand our esteemed president had to class with

a smile them was that the operation was good and helpful the woman set up well and there was on the other hand these people with invited with weapons and order to fire on civilians all they suggests an amateurishly staged incident she said no you agree with you. as early as the night of the coup attempt to one began to round up alleged glenn followers thousands of turks fled abroad some of them to germany. the good men movement in germany was known for putting on elaborate the actual shows to what purpose for all its supporters victims of the air to one regime was the movement as harmless as shows like this suggested or a danger to germany as critics claim.

september 11th 2001 the terrorist attacks on the world trade center in new york shook the world. 10 years later the peace building award of the east west institute think tank was conferred on for too long glenn the west was desperate to ally itself with what seems to be moderate islamic leaders contributing to the promotion of the ideals of tolerance and interfaith dialogue inspired by the tula go on these values in leading political figures like former u.s. secretary of state madeline albright or former u.n. secretary general kofi anon lauded glenn you cannot be he is here to represent a peaceful alternative to al-qaeda and other radical islamic groups resent this and so the glenn movement and with its humanitarian projects was in the right place at

the right time. a visit to saylorsburg pennsylvania. since 1999 for tulip glenn has resided with 100 followers in a largest state in the rural town. here the reclusive leader receives friends and visitors and from here associated foundations control the worldwide network of schools businesses and media companies because the okaloosa the western countries have not managed in 300 years to establish as many schools in the area of the formal autumn an empire as you have with god's grace in the space of just over 20 years because god is with you you have outstripped them all in just 20 years in the . golan was not exaggerating his movement claims to have institutions in 170 countries mainly so-called cram schools and

boarding schools. they all present the same image with peace and tolerance as their main motivation but less lucrative was good. for the almighty. in germany the glenn movement is believed to have around 100000 followers the country's federal intelligence office the b. and d. initially gave a positive assessment of its educational work. the goulet movement is a civil association for religious and secular continuing education. a former leading glinted here and high atiku chook was present at the opening of several of the schools outside turkey he describes the selection process situated difficult to make its way to achieve their goals to look good and follow as work in

the so-called houses of light with selected students being. sponsored from a young age. if the child can write well it is trained to be an author. if a young person shows diplomatic talents if they are trying to become a diplomat if you look through the indeed. classes you see that the graduates of these schools take up outstanding positions in society and government usually small and it used to use i think that's a huge undertaking but there is a real recruitment of the children. he selects is she wants you seem to be the smartest are asked to go to the cultural clubs in the afternoon the secret of. the german government has grown more critical and its assessment. in 2018 and internal report by the foreign ministry said. the conspiratorial part of the gülen movement is characterized by strict hierarchies and in its structure resembles

manifestations of organized crime. so is for tool a glenn and islamic peace builder or the head of a sect like even criminal organization how did the movement originate. its beginnings go back to the 1970 s. in the city of izmir in western turkey. glenn a state employed mom founded several quranic schools there which attracted a number of pious turks to his movement. such institutions were forbidden by law back then but they were spreading unofficially. glenn soon added several of the boarding schools which he called houses of light where his religious message was disseminated. glenn called his movement his met or service. the idea was to raise a new islamic generation that would serve society. one of his closest associates

from that time was let's see fair to one on the right in this picture. it was. when he began likud and movement was an innocent movement. it was deeply religious and a danger to build up an equally religious jan. narration the would be well equipped but of the won't and for the afterlife you. that was the initial goals. but some of glenn's early sermons reveal his more far reaching ambitions. he's trying for a community that will change the social destiny of the world and create a new generation at that and should understand the philosophy of these attitudes and drop evils with your pure hearts your clear conscience and your own well functioning intellect and ha there's hope before my eyes. glenn sermons also contain references to the subpoena already of muslims and in

particular of his own followers. along the way. you have the power that cannot be resisted. this knowledge will sharpen and strengthen. them and. you can feel secure. the others will look you respectfully and they are that under this into. what you will have done last watt and you will decide the poems meaning. in the early days of the movement in the late 1970 s. turkey was in the grip of an economic and social crisis. people were dying every day in violent clashes between left wing and right wing groups. in 1980 the military staged a coup d'etat and ruled for the following years with an iron fist. but glen managed

to fly below the radar and even to get on the good side of the new leaders. i think it will be missed in the get wish list and the good ones relations with the army and thus with the political power centers were very important for he's done an extent well it meant that the army enabled following to grow in numbers and strength especially after the 1900. tens of thousands of people were arrested and tortured by the military junta political parties trade unions and associations were banned from this coincided with the emergence of islamist movements. under the guise of the military. glenn a cautious strategist was able to use his nationwide network to take advantage of the political power vacuum at this point he already had excellent connections in the early 1980 s.

the 1st glen secondary school opened in his mirror. it was followed by other private schools which were to become an important source of revenue for the movement. golan also founded schools abroad financed by donations at 1st in the former soviet union and eastern europe and then in africa asia and the u.s. . under the benevolent eye of the turkish government more and more boarding schools opened promulgating turkish islamic ideology. a part of the school's public relations involved shows called turkish a limp yes often attended by leading turkish politicians like abdulla who. may not be guided me in every day you know they did they did a good deed going to keep it going.

of the future that they teach little kids in africa our national anthem and our compatriots in anatolia love that and donate lots of money that's the reason for those turkish olympiads it's civil now bush has. advanced to a leading figure in islamic circles while maintaining good relations with the powers in the turkish government. it was a delicate balancing act as the secular kamala's loyalists in the military could have easily put an end to his activities. glenn quickly recognized the potential of up and coming politician reject tell you better one it was a new alliance. at 1st their attachment was mutual both men publicly touted their relationship for example at the wedding of a prominent girl and supporter soccer star hakan sure. the. heir to one conducted the wedding ceremony and called on glenn as

a witness to the marriage. to. the politico. the climate was less pleasant this troop buildup in february 1998 was a warning shot by the army against the growing islamist scene in turkey and that also meant against cruel and really un only i don't think such a high government body as the national security council would actually concern itself with such a an important person as many. people glenn was cautious in early 1999 he relocated to the united states supposedly for medical treatment that caution was prophetic soon after he was put on trial in absentia for treason. now 2 decades later his movement is firmly anchored in the united states the annual

revenues of the gülen linked associations foundations and charter schools are thought to amount to several $100000000.00. it was only if in the end the most influential person in the his mad movement is of course the monster glenn himself. as he makes all the decisions bush when he left the head and body of the movement was separating the american border came between them making the movement more controllable 'd. but even from pennsylvania glen remained the head of his movement. supported by a council made up of his most experienced associates. the moms associated with the movement are active in many countries all over the world. they organize the schools the cram schools or houses of light and the religious discussion groups called so bit. they also take care of the establishment and operation of

associations. media outlets and further training of the congress but most importantly they collect the donations and school fees that go to glen's foundations. back in turkey after one also heard the military's warning shot in 1998. he founded a new kind of islamic political party one that claims not to be fundamentalist. the a.k.p. the justice and development party was born in 2001 and won an absolute majority in parliamentary elections the following year. or 21 mobilized the masses while the glenn movement continued to educate a powerful islamic elite. as one was lucky because when he came to power he found complete organizational structures in place in the girl and put at his disposal for your own personal

a police judges and prosecutors of that had been implemented by glenn in a system 3 years. yet if this is the least cooperation it was an ideal association for both of them. to the bench it glenn gave him the structures added one promised him a piece of the profits and more positions in the state apparatus so that it was a win win situation to cuddle added to the win win the mullard. numerous entrepreneurs' including the owners of big hotel complexes industrial plants and gold mines have been identified as glen supporters exiled tycoon khun ipac who lives in london describes the state of his former business empire before it was confiscated in 2015. a clue for you when the cause apex group was seized we had natural resources worth $20000000000.00 that were all kind ours. which was traditionally there were numerous production facilities and our most

valued asset an efficient workforce feel shame it should be barred from. the pack had supported the cooperation between the gülen movement and the governing a.k.p. with the help of his media holdings which included a mass circulation newspaper and broadcaster t.v. . all these platforms celebrated the alliance between the glenn movement and the a.k.p. for example with a visit to one of the turkish olympiads this email. and everyone used the occasion of the turkish olympiad for an invitation to his friend glenn and america and we cannot tolerate this feeling of a strange minutes. we are longing for an end to it. this it is sure it was but the invitee and far away pennsylvania remained cautious was. the government invites me to come.

the people can call on me as well or i can only come if i am invited. is not a safe place for me but it would make unforeseen problems that i have not yet considered . ok j.d. my only wish was for the call of the prophets but to be heard everywhere. glenn's messages often include displays of emotions. in 2007 media channels in turkey broadcast images of widespread police raids a network of army officers and various leading figures had allegedly conspired to establish a state within the state the air gana khan network the raids were apparently driven by forces close to glenn weapons were confiscated conspiratorial groups exposed critical intellectuals sided initially with the glen it's. in 2007 at the start of

the again a con investigations we were very hopeful because initially the people who were arrested with those who had previously been involved as ultranationalist counterinsurgency in crimes of the state there's a lot of. the timing of the raids was well chosen glenn supporters occupied most of the important posts in the justice system and police apparatus as well as the secret service. but any initial optimism that a genuine plot would be exposed soon faded. the arrests of military personnel were just the 1st step then opposition intellectuals and kurdish politicians became the targets. of mass trials began. when the again a cone investigations began i was looking at what influence the cadres had in the judiciary and the police i soon realized i had to investigate this problem so i started writing

a book about their wishes. but he did not get very far it's hacked his computer as a later trial revealed. his findings about the movement inside the state apparatus were confiscated before they could appear in book form. shock was imprisoned for a year. or more and more people were detained including independent prosecutors and police officers. the anti democratic potential of the gülen a.k.p. alliance was coming out into the open. then a journalist out there announced to her a newspaper follow their ghana con trials closely today he lives in exile in cologne where he runs a t.v. channel. in the past 16 year congress of your land movement in miniature tishri and police had put in

a massive crash on the leftist opponents of the regime and especially cuts they sure fabricated indictments and even now the a.k.p. regime continues to keep cards and opposition figures in jail on the faces of files created by career leninist state prosecutors and police officers to prove. the assertive power play on the part of the supposedly a political movement had an impact on its relationship with the area won. in 2013 after more than 10 years in office the high flying president experienced a serious challenge to. the protests by turkish civilians against a development plan for istanbul's d.z. park. erda one responded by brutally crushing the demonstrations. and protests spread throughout the country. and.

the glenn media supported the government position but aired on suspected a clandestine challenge as media close to the a k p described it. the falling out between the heiress while allies aired a one and glenn was supposedly plain to see the 2 sides began to exchange blows and public. first aired a one move to shut down the private prep schools that were the most important source of revenue for the good land movement. to len's response came promptly with a tax on air to want supporters especially in the construction sector spurred by everyone's huge infrastructure projects. sources close to glen allegedly released secretly recorded videos exposing cases of corruption. the biggest scandal was the leaking of an alleged phone call between erica one and one of his sons.

with him yes should i call her. you know their voices on the line that's why i asked you know so transpired $25000000.00 to china and by a fraction sure headers are with the rest. 2000. the public was outraged both by the revelations of air to one's corruption and by the surveillance that had been put in place by glenn ists in the state apparatus which was directed not only against air to one and a k.p. loyalists but against the movement's own supporters was a. good man said to me 20 years ago when he was still in turkey that he'd been listening in for 15 years. later as the technology advanced the eavesdropping became more and more widespread until they were listening to everyone to the well once i found out my phone was being tapped they rented an apartment

across the way. and they are listening to me to this day. i'm making is known for the 1st time. glenn's attacks on president ever one continued with great precision particularly with spectacular investigations against government ministers and their sons contractors and bankers with ties to the government. shoe boxes filled with millions of euros and dollars in cash earned plenty of publicity for ministers had to step down. heir to one was forced to reshuffle his cabinet. everyone soon hit back targeting the public prosecutors with ties to glenn. thousands of justice and police officials were transferred or dismissed. that way stetsons my cameraman and i want to show you want is going on here.

the next target was bank asieh essentially the private bank of the glen movement where many businesses close to glenn and their employees had accounts the bank was confiscated in 2015. then aired on attacks the media. newspapers and t.v. broadcasters associated with coolant were placed under state administration. he became the cuban on bisht early in the morning of october 28th 2015 thought of media center in istanbul made was surrounded by more than 1000 police officers are pretty sparse they took over the building despite the resistance of thousands of our friends and viewers most of the charade had no legal basis it was illegal it was good to let who cooks was give the ration is good even our police will issue a large organization friends of the police please accompany these ladies and gentlemen outside of your new duties i will do what is to me what you. please do

not interfere with the broadcast t.v. . misfired is always going to show shown how you don't like the mutualization or tired to. know me i am the editor in chief the broadcast will continue. through these clashes we found out about the dirty tricks of both sides for good against each other and against turkey in the truth when we know it has all been a sense we are the winners because to a large extent google and lost his former strength for the undead or one lost his subordinate can trace a little bit both sides leaks documents to incriminate each other and that revealed how they had turned the country into a garbage dump and. it was a full stop marriage which 1st came the power struggle then the ugly divorce and we witnessed a very ugly divorce and what was it issue was nothing less than the state itself.

if you can see. from his exile in the us glen held back with statements about the power struggle in turkey but leading associates left in the nick of time to take up residence in europe. in london the former editor in chief tariq toros explains why he fled in 2015. to confess all of us had against him gone to the point where i couldn't breathe anymore i figured they would be coming for me soon but i didn't want to go to jail he is a little bit ahead of family for me the old turkey has ceased to exist true to me that the turkish people of old media that once was no longer exist admit it's broken me they cooled them. while the glen cadres reposition

themselves broad the rank and file of the movement inside turkey were increasingly weekend since their relations soured erda wanted sought to reduce glenn's influence in the military by firing officers close to glenn. in 2016 rumors circulated that the next final purge was coming. then in july 2016 the attempted coup. the night of the putsch may have been the climax of the showdown between glenn and everyone but were only good one is the officers involved the exact sequence of events is still unclear. who was pursuing which strategy on that night. air don't want to address the nation from his vacation home good evening could you please go ahead it's a bit. i call on the people of our lands to go out onto the square as the airports are down see she said oh you mean i know no power greater than that of the people

tell them i'm going to so that i. have civilians obeyed the president's call. mostly unarmed they stood in the way of the approaching tanks. the 1st in the country that had experienced many military coups more than 200. 150 civilians were killed a number of soldiers were lynched. aired on landed at 4 am in istanbul and gave a press conference in the airport. who should these events are a gift of god to us one because they give us the opportunity to clean up our military which should always be honorable and beyond reproach that will earn you know that. by the next morning it was clear that the coup had failed in most places forces loyal to heir to want to control soldiers involved in the putsch were arrested at the military airport near ankara skirmishes continued in the morning. a

young pilot described the confusing events. 71 joy we took off a 10 i am in the air we received the order to bomb the purchased spanx which we did the. when we landed we learned that the commanders who had given us the order to suppress the coup had been arrested for being involved in it as you called them that we were very surprised police churches should conclude. that. the failed coup was immediately followed by mass arrests the a.k.p. had created lists far earlier of alleged glenn supporters who were now detained. so who knew about the coup attempt who was instrumental lies in homes. on efi of a former vice president of the police intelligence department is considered an expert on the glenn movement he wrote one of the 1st books about it which led to his spending a year in jail he says the uprising got off to

a bad start. for a lot of the put learns that had once people had got wind of the plans if they were afraid they would be arrested so they moved the can forward the coup was not led by the military but by a man's of the girl in movement they gave the orders to the soldiers and the police officers and the civilians. the theologians a deal was arrested in the night of the coup he was viewed as a close associate of glenn and one of the masterminds behind the coup today he is believed to be in germany. was aired on really just the victim of an attempted coup d'etat. circumstantial evidence points to a different version of the events namely that both the secret service and the president himself were well informed about the planned push. been in other words

every step of the coup even the day of the coup was known to be all foreign terrorists media. says again tun rick alou was a member of the parliamentary inquiry committee set up to investigate the coup. but he encountered resistance especially to questions criticizing the regime the 2 main witnesses did not appear before the committee. the current minister of national defense and the head of the state intelligence agency. both of them serve their government and he would have been important for them to sham information with mom and polish military be shifted so as to prevent future coup attempts. testimony from intelligence chiefs our country done would have been decisive for shedding light on the events in the meantime video footage and it documents show

that a pilot with links to glenn went to the secret service on the day of the coup and betrayed the plans confidant as the head of the agency was informed the pilot arrived at 2 20 pm and 10 minutes later he made his deposition we think it is 2 30 pm the intelligence service knew what was happening the tanks went out on the streets at 8 30 pm there's a 6 hour gap then but. did everyone deliberately set a trap for the coup leaders. intelligence chief he done and then general staff chief a car have remained silent. if the issue had been handled correctly 250 people would not have lost family i. want to really happened remains in the dark and the. you know why it was not prevented is still open so to show that have a look of. although the exact sequence of events remains unclear it is clear that

the one who benefited most from it is a i don't want. to condemn the thing that he killed them called a one man regime like lease can't tolerate 2 men who. one of them had to go and i think trying to get rid of vanda 101 for his part dug a grave len now it looks like the 1st round went to adam one of the last to. air to one put his advantage to good use there as i have already said we will pull them all out of their hidey holes we will pull them out of their holes poked out. there to one cracked down not only on glenn supporters but on all opposition to his regime more than 500000 arrests were made nationwide heir to one secret service even abducted glenister who had fled abroad and brought them back to turkey and the givens have also been followed the couple are both journalists with ties to glen.

of in work for turkish state television her husband was educated in the glen system and was in self a mentor and houses of light mutual oscillation if they can't locate someone they arrest that hard. my wife worked through the t.v. broadcast a tiara and was dismissed and we hear it in different cities with friends until we could contact people smugglers he finally you know i escaped with the children to greece by boat i stand like a stage. after 2016 more than 15000 turks flood across the ever us river or to the greek islands. but i don't want the trip for so hard to make a decision like that. when you already stories we've heard about those who drowned i will have to make an arrangement with human trafficking is just so cool so it was scary police attack or potentially.

this public event took place in the western german city of dusseldorf the glenn movement has been active in germany since the 1970 s. and runs numerous schools associate. and foundations year. since the failed coup in 2016 the country has become an official base of the movement thanks its spokesman in germany is heir john kerr. he refused to be interviewed for this film. here he was presenting his book in which he depicts the glen movement as a peaceful educational initiative. but some are skeptical about how a political the group is like the islam expert for germany's protestant church also there are passages for instance in the book the good and movement by the chairman of the foundation for dialogue and education that clearly states we come from a moderate suvi islam we have nothing to do with political islam but statements

like that a misleading the public and we need to point that out. here in central berlin is the building site for a planned prestige project the house of one the estimated building costs amount to 43 and a half 1000000 euros the german government is contributing 10000000 of that. as usual the glenys strategy here involves networking with the powerful movers and shakers in society. the house of one project is supposed to represent 3 major world religions but islam is only represented by the glenn movement or his met the building is slated for completion in 2022. however the project faces criticism because of the strong involvement of glenn followers. 7 doggerland a member of parliament for the left party has her doubts about the movement's intentions. and this is i know this is an organization whose structure is similar to that of organized crime. i mean i think they have very strict hierarchy in

their clothes shop like many sects. and their goal is not democracy and into cultural understanding their goal is to gain control of their states by infiltrating government institutions and organizations so it's also we must be very cautious inside. of course of the board. the professionalism and financial clout of the glen movement is apparent and its p.r. work and internationally known agency received more than $1000000.00 euro's over several years. one of its tasks was to discredit a film that was critical of glen as journalist cornelia experienced after the airing of her report the long arm of the a mom. of the sandusky values and we know that the religious stance of this movement which german politicians for example tend to think of as embodying soft islam is not soft islam so says islamic orthodoxy that everything should real it

also should be and has to offer us with books a shot. and that extends to the death penalty for those who turn away from islam. a web page of the movement put it more precisely anyone who turns away from islam is the noted anapa state. and if he does not repent his deed within the given time limit he will be killed the online text only appeared in turkish. what else has been kept from the wider public a number of media outlets with ties to glenn worked to present a positive image of the movement the former media center and often back was recently up for sale but close by a group of journalists who support to learn or already building up new web based information channels. fugitive turkish journalist chaffery gauvin has been very involved in this effort.

the. process of creating something new under the name of bold media to get you to make violations of human rights in turkey known to a global public. as journalists we're trying to help find ways of getting turkey back on the right track with mental issues. the go venza appear to be well established in germany. both have residence permits and work in their original professions. but where do they stand in terms of their past in the good land movement and how great is their commitment to the western ideals of transparency and democracy if it is certain that they will no longer use structures hierarchies in leadership like a cost. we no longer give into. we interact with the society here with the religious he interacting with christianity by interacting with other cultures and nationalities all of that changes us than it

commission which in this will be the studio. critics say that the massive injustice that the glenn movement and heir to one's a.k.p. jointly inflicted has yet to be dealt with. you having some of the same tend to take part in democratic structures they will have to take a very critical look at themselves fast. since the ban in turkey the movement has been staging more and more of its olympiads abroad including in germany the perfectly choreographed shows demonstrate the popularity of the glenn movement in the west. the notion that the glenn movement represents a moderate peaceful islam is accepted in many parts of the world that notion persists although the peace loving image hides a tightly regiment's and well funded and internationally active organization.

its intentions in europe and elsewhere remain untransparent. after. the point of strong opinions clear musicians international perspectives. the coronavirus threatens our health all societies around our economies so when it comes not of a huge challenge climate change what if we learned from the corona pandemic joined

b.m.i. get sometime a point shortly. to the point of. the mission 30 minutes on w. . every journey begins with the 1st step and every language with the 1st word published in the can. recoat is in germany to learn german and why not with him it's simple online on your mobile and free to such a d w z learning course nikos fake german meeting. not all think out of the general well i guess sometimes i am but i stand up and whip it up and the german thinks the printer jemma culture of looking at the stereotypes aquatics put in here thinking of the country that i now know the time. needed save the day for this drama there you go it's all about. bob no

i'm a joke join me for me to devon bundy to be a post. this is the. charges in turkey but the court of global public opinion may deliver a different verdict today of turkey sentence the german turkish journalist. for more than 2 years in prison for spreading terrorist propaganda the verdict is expected to strain relations between. also coming up tonight what does it
