On the 10th anniversary of July 15th, let me take you back to 1986, the symbolic year of FETÖ's infiltration of the Turkish Armed Forces. That year, an operation was launched at the Bursa Işıklar, Istanbul Kuleli, and İzmir Maltepe military high schools on the grounds that Fethullahist structures were present and exam questions had been stolen.
The operation began on the orders of the then Chief of General Staff, Necdet Üruğ. Students who answered all the questions correctly, especially the Turkish questions, were interrogated one by one.
The result was horrific. Fethullahists had infiltrated hundreds of students into military schools.
One of the people conducting the investigation was Yaşar Büyükanıt, the then commander of Kuleli Military High School.
As a result of the investigation, some of those who named Fethullahists were expelled, but the majority continued in their positions.
