The modest life of the powerful man: Who is Fethullah Gulen?

But who is Fethullah Gulen, the clergyman who has troubled not only Turkey? The question is asked in the script that MAPO broadcasts.

The preacher has been living since 1999 in the United States because there are many enemies in Turkey.

His organisation, called Hizmet, operates a global network of schools, firms and media companies.

This organisation is named by Turkish President Recep Tayip Erdogan as the organiser of the coup against him.

Gulen lives in a strictly supervised complex in the small town of Seylorsburg, about 100 miles from New York.

Ankara's greatest enemy “has repeatedly denied the charges against him.

A few people visit the 75-year-old. They undergo strict control before entering the house.

The FBI advised him to guard with armed guards.

The parking lot is always about a Porsche four-way.

Friends have to take off their shoes before they get home. Women should cover their shoulders.

The waiting room is full of gold, ornaments, elegant carpets and china porcellan fine.

Gulen, who suffers from diabetes and has had heart problems, lives in a small room.

He has been an ally once with Erdogan, and both helped boost the AKP party.

Now both hate each other.

When Gulen went into exile, he called on supporters to take power by infiltrated state institutions.

Gulen's power began to grow in the '70s when she was imaming at a mosque in Edirne.

The charismatic clergyman became very popular with his sermons.

During this time, he began building schools and dormitories, which he called “the homes of light”.

The graduates of these institutions became his followers and now have banks, televisions and newspapers under control.

Opinions on Gulen are different. Some view his movement as a sect. Others say he is the most important preacher of modern Islam.

Although his organisation has millions in wealth, Gulen himself says there is nothing.

He sleeps on a mattress on the floor. Next to him are books and bottles of oil.

The great wine of his house is full of black panels, that he may not see afar off.

You can only walk into his room with a special chip card.

An elevator takes Gulen directly to the garage, from which he goes to the hospital for regular checkups.

At other times, he never leaves home.
