Kofi Annan’s remarks about Gulen Movement


Date posted: June 21, 2013

Hon. Kofi Annan said:

I think it is extremely important to have institutions like the Gulen Institute (Gulen Movement) bringing people together, getting them to understand that we all are in the same boat and in today’s world you cannot be secure at the expense of the other, you cannot be safe and prosperous at the expense of other.

Hon. Kofi Annan, Secretary-General of the United Nations, 1997-2006

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.
