This article is for subscribers only.
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan accused U.S.-based Fethullah Gulen’s followers in the police and judiciary of treason for leading a graft probe against his government.
Speaking a day after the release of a new audio tape that the opposition said placed Erdogan at the center of a bribery scheme, the premier lashed out at what he called a “parallel structure” with the state. He told Gulen to return home and repeated his accusation that the recordings were doctored to frame him.
