James Baker’s remarks about Fethullah Gulen and Gulen Movement
Date posted: June 22, 2013
Honorary James Baker said:
Problems of the world would be easy to address if, on the global level, we develop ways of sharing respect for each other’s religious perspectives. It is in this manner, the Gülen Institute and those who promote shared vision of interfaith dialogue provide truly invaluable leadership.
Well-known sociologist says Gülen’s name on terrorist list ’alarming’

‘Hizmet is a social movement worldwide, that has a heart, and it’s always from the heart.’
Hizmet works around the world to overcome poverty, and they do it in a very unique way, I think. In some ways, in a model way that could be emulated by others.

Gov’t targets Hizmet to distract attention from corruption, says director
Demirkubuz believes that all the “good things” that the government did prior to the 2010 referendum were to guarantee its position, rather than celebrating the rule of law and justice, as evidenced by the fact that the prosecutors who were called heroes yesterday are called traitors today. Demirkubuz urged society to go through an exercise of self-criticism in terms of the preference for power over freedoms.
