I agree. The things you state are all reasons for this latest coup attempt .. as you know Turkey has
been quite unstable for quite a time .. another reason for the coup is Gulen's passion for power.

I meant to highlight this bit

Opponents of the movement point to a video which surfaced in 1999, in which Mr Gulen seemed to tell his followers that they should deliberately attempt to infiltrate mainstream structures:

"You must move within the arteries of the system, without anyone noticing your existence, until you reach all the power centres.

"You must wait until such time as you have got all the state power, until you have brought to your side all the power of the constitutional institution in Turkey."

The following year, Mr Gulen faced charges of trying to undermine Turkey's secular state.

He left for the US... http://www.bbc.com/news/world-13503361
