The Journalists and Writers Foundation (GYV) has responded to a series of claims about and slanderous accusations against the Hizmet movement.
Currently there is a lot of insulting talk on social media and in some media circles about the movement.

I think the same people who accused the Hizmet movement are the ones who paved the way for such actions.
