FETÖ and Gülen Community Claims

7 entries

The claims "they resemble FETÖ's early years" and "he speaks with FETÖ's tongue", and the record of criticisms reaching back to before 2013.

"He has ties to FETÖ" claim

The claim was investigated by the police before the 30 January 2018 operation, following a tip-off dated 2016: the ByLock, Bank Asya, association and telephone queries all came back empty.

Unfounded

The "He made propaganda for FETÖ" claim

While the indictment writes propaganda for a terrorist organization, the police documents in the same case file write that no involvement, contact or association with FETÖ could be found. The contradiction lies inside a single file.

Unfounded

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 claim that "the Furkan Foundation is part of the FETÖ structure"

The foundation, its founders and its forty-four-member board of trustees were screened by the police on 9 January 2017; no link to any terrorist organization was found, and the foundations audit reached the same conclusion.

Unfounded

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
