The Turkmen Alevite Association in cooperation and with the support of the Kimse Yok Mu distributed together aid to 1840 families in need in poor neighborhoods of Ankara.

Özdemir Özdemir, president of the Turkmen Alevite Association, thanked the Kimse Yok Mu and expressed that Ramadan is an important time for Alevite-Sunni brotherhood. Two organizations worked together, showing a good example of solidarity and brotherhood. The Alevite association identified 1840 needy families in Ankara and distributed food packages, which were supported by Kimse Yok Mu. Özdemir said, “They wished to make the poor happy and contribute to Alevite-Sunni brotherhood.”

Özdemir also remarked that Ramadan provides opportunities in terms of strengthening the unity in the country. “Some people may want to destroy our brotherhood but we, as a nation, will not permit it. We will support each other in both good and bad days,” he added. Özdemir announced that they would organize an Iftar, which would be attended by both Alevite and Sunni people, in a ‘Cemevi’ in Hasandede town, Ankara.

Worldview: No evidence, no extradition of Pa. cleric to Turkey

That’s the claim of Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who is demanding that the United States extradite Fethullah Gulen, a 77-year-old Turkish cleric living on a 26-acre retreat in Saylorsburg, whom he blames for orchestrating the failed coup.

Erdoğan’s accusation that Hizmet organized the coup attempt is noxious and absurd

The name of that “terrorist organization” was not spoken, but Ökem was referring to the so-called Fethullahçı Terör Örgütü. To the rest of the world, it’s the Hizmet movement founded by Fethullah Gülen, a former close and important ally of Erdoğan. No one else sees it as violent. Erdoğan’s accusation that it organized the coup attempt is noxious and absurd.

Responding to widespread assumptions that he ordered his followers in senior positions in the police and judiciary to launch the investigations into alleged high-level government corruption, Gülen issued strong denials of such claims. He said the reactions of the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP), which have included the sacking a number of police commissioners and the arrest of some of Erdoğan’s allies, were “anti-democratic.”
