{ISTANBUL (Hurriyet Daily News) \u2014 An Istanbul court has issued a warrant for Fethullah G\u00fclen, the founder and leader of what Turkey calls the \u201cFethullahist Terror Organization,\u201d on charges of ordering the July 15 failed coup attempt in Turkey.}<\/p>\n

Upon a demand by Istanbul prosecutor Can Tuncay, Istanbul First Court of Peace ruled for the arrest of G\u00fclen, the first warrant issued against the U.S.-based Islamic scholar concerning the July 15 attempt.<\/p>\n

The ruling said G\u00fclen organization, which infiltrated the Turkish Armed Forces (TSK) in major cities like Istanbul and Ankara, aimed to take over all the state\u2019s institutions and security bodies by changing the constitution. It also clearly asserted that the organization, which aimed to become a large and effective political and economic power at the international level, carried out the coup attempt with a group of allegiant soldiers and meanwhile committed multiple crimes.<\/p>\n

Describing the illegal actions which took place during the attempt, the ruling said a probe was launched into G\u00fclen on the legal grounds that \u201corganization executives are sentenced as perpetrators due to all crimes committed within the frame of organization\u2019s activities\u201d and that \u201cthere was no doubt that the coup attempt was the action of the organization and it was carried out by its founder suspect Fethullah G\u00fclen.\u201d<\/p>\n

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdo\u011fan has dismissed the possible threat of more action on August 14 by the \u201cFethullahist Terrorist Organization,\u201d which, according to Erdo\u011fan, perpetrated the July 15 failed coup attempt.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey didn\u2019t draw lessons from what happened. They are trying to threaten the people. They are saying, \u2018Wait for August 14,\u2019\u201d said Erdo\u011fan, adding that \u201cshamefulness is a character issue.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are not cowardly, we are brave. Shamefulness is a character issue. It doesn\u2019t know any time or space boundaries. If your character has become dirty, then you can express your treason 365 days a year,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe people had showed the group a lesson,\u201d Erdo\u011fan said, adding that precautions would continue to be taken.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery step that they take brings them down to the cesspool that they are in and will continue to do so. Our people gave them a lesson. It doesn\u2019t matter now what they do or say. We will definitely continue to take our precautions,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

During his speech, Erdo\u011fan said there was no reason to stand on the side of the \u201ctreason network.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe one in Pennsylvania is not the superior mind. His mind doesn\u2019t work as much. The superior mind is something different,\u201d he said, referring to G\u00fclen, who lives in self-imposed exile in Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery school, every private education institution belonging to this [G\u00fclen] movement is a terror nest. These people are murderers, liars, robbers, hijackers, traitors and tools. They are sneaky and they sin openly,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
