7 years pass since FETÖ terror group's defeated July 15 coup bid of 2016

The terror group decided to stage the coup once it realized that its schemes would not be enough to reverse the move, including by summoning then-Undersecretary of the National Intelligence Organization (MIT) Hakan Fidan and other senior officials for questioning, a large-scale raid on Dec. 17-25, 2013 to detain prominent government figures, and stopping MIT trucks near the Syrian border in 2014. A recorded speech by U.S.-based FETÖ ringleader Fethullah Gülen on March 19, 2016, was identified as a call for the putsch.
