In a newly released video footage, Fethullah Gülen, the leader of the FETÖ terrorist organization who had orchestrated the last coup attempt in Turkey, confessed to his involvement in the attempt, criticizing those who stand against the coup. “Let some fools smile as they acquired some kind of victory,” Gülen told his followers in a briefing at his home compound in Pennsylvania, US. "Let them establish weddings, associations. Let them declare festivals for that funny situation," Gülen said criticizing mass protest in several cities across Turkey. He stated that the world community was with “us”, “They (the world community) are laughing to see what is now happening there (in Turkey).” Gülen threatened that the people who stand in favor of democracy in Turkey would be vanished sooner or later. “If they survive, would say 'Alas!' but could not say 'But',” Gülen said. He called on his followers to continue their strong stance against the Turkish government measures following the coup attempt, adding that “If you are hanged for this virtual work, you will receive a great award in the afterlife.”
