Erdoğan daily: ‘CIA pastor’ engineered coup attempt in TurkeyBy TM -May 20, 2017The pro-Erdoğan Takvim daily on Saturday accused jailed American pastor Andrew Brunson, whose release US President Donald Trump sought from Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on Tuesday, of being behind a coup attempt in Turkey on July 15, claiming that he would be the CIA chief if the coup attempt had been successful.According to the top story on Takvim’s front page, Brunson is a “high-level CIA agent” and also a “high-level member of the Gülen movement,” which Erdoğan has labeled as a terrorist organization and which he accuses of masterminding the failed coup attempt. The arrest of the pastor has paralyzed CIA operations in Turkey, according to the article, and the US has been exerting all means to save him.Andrew Brunson, a North Carolina native, has been in custody since October after he and his wife were detained on immigration violation charges. At the time, the Brunsons were running a small Christian church in İzmir. They had lived in Turkey for 23 years.Continued: https://www.turkishminute.com/2017/05/20/erdogan-daily-cia-pastor-engineered-coup-attempt-in-turkey/
