Power and Money Struggles Erupt in FETÖ After Leader Gülen's Death

Following the death of Fetullah Gülen, the leader of the FETÖ organization, internal power and financial struggles have erupted within the group. Gülen, who died in the United States, had led the organization for decades, orchestrating a failed coup attempt in Turkey in 2016. The group, designated as a terrorist organization by Turkey, is now facing fragmentation as rival factions vie for control over its assets and leadership. Reports indicate disputes over the management of funds and the direction of the organization's activities. Turkish authorities have intensified monitoring of the group's remnants, both domestically and abroad. The internal strife is expected to weaken the organization's operational capacity and influence.

Global Impact

Politically, the death of Gülen and the ensuing power struggle within FETÖ removes a key irritant in U.S.-Turkey relations, as Gülen's extradition had been a major point of contention. This could pave the way for improved diplomatic and economic cooperation between the two NATO allies.
