A second search of a magazine building where nothing had been found

Furkan Haber reports a fresh search of the Furkan Nesli building, already searched with nothing found, and that members were not let in even as witnesses.

Was the file filled with evidence, or with slander?

The Furkan Movement's statement on the 2026 operation: when the searches produced no element of a crime, the file was, it says, filled with the statements of people whose hostility to the movement is known and with claims already refuted in court.

The claim that the case file contains a FETÖ contact list

According to a claim circulated on 22 August 2026, the investigation file contains a table showing the FETÖ/PDY contacts of the movement's leadership. Two days later one of the lawyers on the case reported that he had shown the post to the prosecutor handling the file in person, and that the prosecutor said "there is definitely no list of this kind in our file".

Unverifiable

The claim that materials were smuggled out of the foundation

In a car stopped on 7 February 2018, the foundation's own magazines and handbooks were found; the report wrote this up as "smuggling", and the materials were laid out on the ground and photographed.

Distorted

What is Kuytul's finding about a "secret committee hostile to religion"?

The interview after 22 April 2017: how he describes the structure he sees behind the obstructions, and why he does not lay what happened at the government's door alone.

Why is he against coups? The 15 July interview

An interview given about 25 days after the coup: a coup is a usurpation of authority, the state does not change unless society changes, and this is not the path of the prophets.

The "He said July 15 was theatre" claim

The remark really was made; but what was meant is not that there was no coup or that the government staged it, rather the view that the coup plotters were provoked and lured into a trap.

Out of context

The "They Resemble FETÖ's Early Years" Claim

A resemblance is not evidence. The possibility of a covert cadre inside state institutions was in fact investigated by the police in 2016-2017; no record was found.

Distorted

The "On the Same Line as the Gülen Community" Claim

On 4 February 2016 Kuytul read Gülen's Asharq al-Awsat interview out from the newspaper and objected to its arguments one by one; the division comes down to whether an Islamic state is necessary.

Unfounded

The "He Criticised Gülen Only After 15 July" Claim

The criticism did not begin after 15 July 2016. Records dated 1998, 2005, 2014 and February 2016 belong to the years when the movement was at its strongest.

Unfounded

The "He Supported the Turkish Olympiads" Claim

He did not support them; he objected to them. And he did so on 16 February 2014, at the time when the event was at its most splendid and hardest to criticise, giving his reasons as well.

Unfounded

The "He Was Found in the Wrong in the Adnan Oktar Case" Claim

The ruling and the damages are real. The ruling came in a single hearing, with no evidence submitted and no defence heard; in 2015, when one document came up, the same lawyers withdrew hundreds of cases.

Partly true

The "He Insulted Adnan Oktar" Claim

The words really were spoken. But they were spoken in answer to a question, in the "may be" mood, and on the basis of public judicial records; the claim leaves out all three of these at once.

Out of context

The claim that "he did not come out into the squares against the coup"

It is true that they did not join the democracy vigils. But on 21 July 2016 they held an anti-coup gathering in a public square with hundreds of people; the objection was not to opposing the coup but to the name given to the protest.

Partly true
