Gülen lived in exile in the United States, despite a number of Turkish attempts to have him extradited. Gülen and his movement were singled out as an archenemy by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his government. They accused him, among other things, of being behind the coup attempt in Turkey in 2016, which Gülen has denied. Fethullah Gülen was the leader of the controversial Hizmet movement which he founded in Turkey in the 70s. It has been characterized as a cross between a religious brotherhood and a network.
