Dr. Phyllis Bernard’s views on Fethullah Gulen & Gulen Movement

Rule of law casualty of AKP-Gulen conflict

The AKP government thinks that by labeling corruption investigations and operations as a “coup” and calling those behind them as “parallel state” that it has found a justifiable way to interfere with the judiciary.
