Trying to stem arrests of terror group members, the U.S.-based leader of Gülenist Terror Group (FETÖ) is branding as "infidels" those members who admit their own affiliation and that of fellow members of the group, which is responsible for the 2016 defeated coup in Turkey.

In a video shared by some FETÖ-affiliated social media accounts, Fetullah Gülen says that those who tell the names of fellow members are "infidels" even if they pray "10 times a day".

FETÖ and Gülen orchestrated the defeated coup attempt on July 15, 2016, which left 250 people martyred and nearly 2,200 injured, as well as a long-running campaign to overthrow the state through infiltrating Turkish institutions, particularly the military, police, and judiciary.
