“Our assessment is that 150,000 unique operatives used ByLock to communicate with others”, a senior Turkish official said, adding that the group has also used another app called Eagle, which could be disguised as other popular instant messaging apps such as Whatsapp and Tango. “We have no right to show pity toward those who showed no mercy to their country or people”.
Turkey has designated Gulen’s religious movement a terrorist group and wants Gulen extradited from the United States to face trial.
In the wake of the failed takeover, the government has conducted massive arrest campaigns, detaining thousands of individuals from the military, schools and universities, health services and the media.
The United States, and the rest of the West to a degree, had fallen out, first, with Russian Federation, over its seizure of the Crimea and its dispatch of forces to the eastern Ukraine, leading to economic and financial sanctions against it. “The United States is a great state and I believe will do what is expected from a great state”.
However, the rebelling servicemen started to surrender July 16 and Turkish authorities said the coup attempt failed.
He was addressing crowds that had gathered for the final of the daily rallies that have been staged across the country to denounce the attempted overthrow.
The response comes after the country received a backlash when Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan said he supports the reintroduction for the death penalty. They engaged in extortion.
Kalin said Erdogan’s call was meant to ensure that the business world “was put on alert” against Gulen’s movement. Two Turkish military attaches in Greece are missing after being called back to Ankara as part of investigations into last month’s failed military coup.

“While many fear president Erdogan may use the coup attempt to further consolidate power and build an authoritarian regime, this fury has unified the populace in support of the measures”, he said.
