Istanbul Police Chief says only 104 soldiers involved in #TurkeyCoup. Leader named as Col Muharrem Kose, recently dismissed as Gulen member.

The fact that Erdogan's first impulse is to blame Gulen of all people, then vow revenge, explains why this coup happened in first the place!

Two highly recommended pieces from Tim Furnish, touching on Gulenist Mahdism and education as well as his political relationship with Turkey:

If #Turkey coup was by armed forces, why is #Erdogan purge focused on education? ?
