The FETO organization has been classified as a terrorist organization by Turkey since May 2016, under the names of Fethullahist Terrorist Organization and Parallel State Structure.

Following the failed coup attempt in 2016, the Turkish government held the group responsible for the coup and arrested thousands of soldiers and judges who had links to the organization. (ILKHA)
