However , Erdogan ’s government banned all Turkish media from further reporting on the court proceedingsjustice.initiatejudicialprocess.trialhearing. The allegations , claimed the government , were part of a conspiracy to undermine Erdogan ’s presidency — organised by the exiled Muslim cleric , Fethullah Gulen , who is resident in the United States .

They regularly boycotted proceedingsjustice.initiatejudicialprocess.trialhearing, leaving Iraq and watching the hearings on television .
