Thousands gathered in New Jersey to mourn Turkish scholar Fethullah Gülen, who died in self-exile. His funeral service was attended by family and friends, and he was buried in Pennsylvania. Gülen, once an ally of Turkish President Erdoğan, became a critic and was accused of masterminding a coup attempt in 2016. Following the coup, Turkish authorities cracked down on his supporters. Erdoğan condemned Gülen's legacy, while Gülen denied any involvement in the coup until his death.
