STOCKHOLM (Sputnik) — Supporters of the Turkish government urged Turks residing in Sweden to inform on the members of the opposition Gulenist movement, media reported on Friday.

"We encourage everyone to inform on the individuals, organizations and institutions that are supporting or financing Fethullah Gulen’s terrorist organization, both domestically and abroad," a post on the Facebook page used by supporters of Turkey’s ruling AKP party in Sweden was cited by Sveriges Radio as saying.

On July 15, the coup attempt took place in Turkey and was suppressed the following day. Over 240 people were killed and more than 2,100 injured during the failed coup excluding the victims among the coup plotters, according to the country's authorities.

The Turkish government has accused US-based dissident Muslim cleric Muhammed Fethullah Gulen and his followers of having played a key role in the coup. Gulen has denied the accusations.
