Pro-gov’t columnist: Turkish state must assassinate Fethullah Gülen
Date posted: August 31, 2016
Fatih Tezcan, a pro-government public speaker and columnist, said in a video he posted on social media that he is sure the Turkish state had embedded a secret agent in the Gülen movement and that now it is time for him to “terminate” Turkish Islamic scholar Fethullah Gülen.
During his 1.08-minute video, Tezcan curses the Gülen movement and the US-based Gülen and says that the murder of Gülen is something desired by the entire Muslim world.
Here is what Tezcan said:
“I do not believe that the Turkish state has not embedded a secret agent in the Gülen movement. And it is almost time for that person to do what he was assigned to do. I believe that person is going to sense the feelings of the whole Muslim world and do what’s necessary. This is just a prediction. If the United States refuses to extradite Gülen, a man who insulted the Turkish state thousands of times… Forgive me for calling him a man. This kind of b*****d must be punished by Muslim Turks. I am not saying this out of anger or jealousy. I want to make it clear that Fethullah Gülen must be assassinated.”

“As the coup attempt unfolded, I fiercely denounced it and denied any involvement,” wrote Gulen, who has been living in self-exile in the US since 1999. “Furthermore, I said that anyone who participated in the putsch betrayed my ideals.

Turkish Gov’t media targets exiled journalists, their lives at risk
Following President Erdoğan’s statement that no country is safe for Gülen movement sympathizers, the pro-AKP media targeted exiled journalists in the US and Europe on Monday.

Turkey’s tryst with democracy (1)
All of Erdoğan’s recent acts reflect a serious deficit of democracy in the ruling government. These acts include making bogus claims of a parallel structure; targeting institutions linked to Fethullah Gülen’s Hizmet movement; embark on a massive reshuffle of thousands of officials without any reasonable grounds; changing the structure of the Supreme Board of Judges and Prosecutors (HSYK) to subjugate the judiciary; openly interfering in the media; strengthening the National Intelligence Organization (MİT) and bringing it under the direct control of the prime minister; banning Twitter and YouTube; and speaking with a threatening, bullying and polarizing tone.
