Turkey arrests ex-pilot in Erdoğan assassination attempt
The Turkish Interior Ministry announced the arrest of a former pilot, accused of attempting to assassinate President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan during the failed coup attempt in July 2016. The suspect was detained in the city of Marmaris by counter-terrorism units from the Aydın Province Security Directorate after locating his hideout in western Turkey. The coup attempt dates back to 2016, when Turkey accused the Gülen Movement and its leader, Fethullah Gulen, of orchestrating it. Afterwards, Turkey designated July 15 as a day of democracy and national unity to commemorate the martyrs.
