I specifically asked him after his talk if the Turkish government was involved at all, and he said that no one he had interviewed had mentioned even being approached by government types let alone actually working with or under government supervision.

That type of information would be very interesting and extremely relevant to ongoing debates on the topic. Could you please provide your evidence for that claim?
