Fethullah Gulen, the controversial Turkish cleric who lived in exile in the United States and was widely accused by Turkish authorities of masterminding a failed coup attempt in 2016, has passed away at the age of 83. His death is seen by some in Turkey as an opportunity to move forward from the events of the coup attempt, which led to significant political turmoil and a crackdown on dissent. Turkish officials have labeled Gulen as the leader of a terrorist organization, asserting that he directed operations from his base in the Poconos. The news of his passing has renewed discussions about the future of the Gülen movement and its impact on Turkish politics.
