By Trend
Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim’s chief advisor was
detained over his suspected links to the Fethullahist Terrorist
Organization (FETO), widely believed to have masterminded the July
15, 2016, failed coup attempt, reports Hurriyet Daily News.
Yildirim’s chief advisor Birol Erdem, who was a justice ministry
undersecretary previously, and his wife Gulumser Erdem were
detained early on June 3 in Ankara as part of an investigation
carried out by Ankara Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office.
Erdem testified as witness as part of an investigation launched for
the followers of the US-based Islamic preacher Fethullah Gulen last
year.
