FETÖ ringleader Fetullah Gülen's farm in Pennsylvania falls silent
The farm in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania, where FETÖ ringleader Fetullah Gülen has lived for many years and which is known as the center of the organization, has been filmed by drone. According to a report by Anadolu Agency, the armed and uniformed American security guards who previously stood watch are no longer in their posts. While locals believe that FETÖ leader Fetullah Gülen has been taken elsewhere, the parking lot of the site, previously used as the organization's headquarters, is largely empty.

As allegations grow that Fetullah Gülen, the leader of the Fetullahist Terror Organization (FETÖ), has been taken from the farm in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania where he has lived for many years, the silence of the farm area captured by Anadolu Agency (AA) has also drawn attention.
The claim that Gülen was abducted from the center, where he has resided and received members of the terrorist organization since 1999, was brought to the agenda by his nephew, Ebuseleme Gülen.
GUESTS VACATE THE HOUSES
According to the AA report, following this development, visits to the center, referred to as the "Golden Generation Worship & Retreat Center" in FETÖ-affiliated media outlets, have ceased, and those staying in the guest houses on the farm have vacated the houses they were occupying.
According to the report, some local tradespeople in towns such as Saylorsburg and Wind Gap, where FETÖ members live in high numbers and who are familiar with the members of the terrorist organization, confirmed that no one has been coming to or going from the camp for some time, and they also relayed that they have heard rumors that the farm has been put up for sale.
NUMBER OF VEHICLES IN THE PARKING LOT HAS DECREASED
In the images reflected in the drone footage by AA, it was seen that there were only a few vehicles in the parking lot, which previously had no empty spaces, and that only one person was seen entering and exiting one of the guest houses on the approximately 60-acre camp grounds.
The footage also showed that the armed and uniformed American security guards, who previously stood watch at the entrance of the farm 24 hours a day without interruption, are no longer in their places.
Anadolu Agency also filmed from the air the area where the houses belonging to Cevdet Türkyolu, who is considered the "black box" of FETÖ and is alleged to have smuggled Gülen out of the farm, and his daughters are located.
In the area, which is about 5 minutes away from the farm, there is also a cemetery belonging to FETÖ called Gurbet Cemetery, where members of the terrorist organization who died in the U.S. are buried.
Some individuals who noticed that the area was being filmed came to check a covered area with quick steps and then moved away from there.
MUTUAL ACCUSATIONS CONTINUE WITHIN THE ORGANIZATION: HAS GÜLEN BEEN ABDUCTED?
The debate, which flared up among supporters of the terrorist organization last week with posts made on social media by Ebuseleme Gülen, the nephew of FETÖ leader Fetullah Gülen (the son of his brother Mesih Gülen), continues.
In a video post he made from the entrance of a house located right next to the farm, Ebuseleme Gülen claimed that Fetullah Gülen had been "abducted to another place."
According to his nephew's allegations, Fetullah Gülen is being held in an unknown location by Cevdet Türkyolu, primarily, as well as Barbaros Kocakurt, Mustafa Özcan, and Gülen's private doctor, Kudret Ünal.
Following the high level of engagement the allegations received from supporters of the terrorist organization, a social media account that has long been used to make posts on behalf of Fetullah Gülen stated that the FETÖ ringleader was continuing his routine activities in a "calmer environment" away from the farm, and it was claimed that the change of location was due to the insistence of his doctors.
In his X posts, Ebuseleme Gülen commented that his uncle "should not die without revealing the truth" about the July 15 coup attempt, while continuing to accuse prominent FETÖ figures such as Türkyolu, Adil Öksüz, Kudret Ünal, and Barbaros Kocakurt.
THE "WHERE IS GÜLEN" DEBATE CONTINUES
Some influential figures of the terrorist organization, such as Kemal Gülen and Ahmet Kurucan, also joined the debate from their social media accounts, arguing that the ringleader Gülen "is in a house that very few people know about, and that it is normal for him not to want to be kept in a crowded environment like the camp due to the sensitivity of his health condition."
While these statements did not satisfy the FETÖ base, it was observed that the number of FETÖ members supporting Ebuseleme Gülen's posts on social media has increased.
Furthermore, the preference for using the image shared on the terrorist organization's website as a profile photo led to comments that it was intended to hide Gülen's true state of health.
