FETO member’s son commissioned as 2nd lieutenant in US Army

Adem Kalac, a member of the Gulenist Terror Group (FETO) advisory council, is in the spotlight as his son, Turgay Karagoz (Jozef Turgay) has recently become a second lieutenant in the U.S. Army.

This development highlights a direct link between the relatives of Fethullah Gulen and U.S. military service, given that Kalac is married to Gulen’s niece.

This news comes amid ongoing scrutiny of FETO’s network, with the enlistment of Kalac’s son highlighting the organization’s influence beyond Türkiye. The advisory council is known for its connections to the leadership of terrorist organizations, which have faced criticism for their lavish lifestyles.

Additionally, Karagoz, a fugitive former police chief and a key figure in FETO’s operations within the police, became a U.S. citizen in June and has since changed his name to Jozef Turgay. This situation raises concerns about the ongoing presence of terrorist affiliates within U.S. institutions and their potential influence.

These developments underscore the intricate ties between FETO members and their integration into American society, raising questions about national security and the implications of these connections.

What is FETO?

FETO has clandestinely operated in Türkiye since the 1960s, culminating in the coup attempt on July 15, 2016, which resulted in the deaths of 252 people and left 2,735 others injured.

A rare instance of public resistance foiled the attempt against the putschists. Since 2016, FETO has been recognized as a terrorist organization by entities such as the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) and Pakistan. The group’s leader, Fetullah Gulen, resides in the United States, with discussions of extradition still ongoing.
