Madeleine Albright’s remarks about Gulen Movement


Date posted: June 22, 2013

Madeleine Albright’s remarks: “In a world that lacks direction, there can be no doubt that a pathfinder is needed.

These values include commitment to international dialogue, an understanding of cultural diversity, support for human justice and a love of peace.”

Turkey’s Islamic camp is more diverse than one would think. In fact, the traditions that Erdoğan and Gülen come from have almost always been distinct and different from each.
