Erdogan confesses to his crimes against Gülen movement

The scandals and crimes of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan appear day after day, and in the fourth anniversary of the alleged coup by the government of the Turkish President in 2016, which the opposition considers a plan by the ruling party, the Turkish president admitted to committing crimes against the service movement or the "Gülen " group, justifying it On charges of masterminding the coup d'etat he directed to the movement's inspirer, Fathallah Colin, without evidence.

Erdogan said that the intelligence services kidnapped more than 100 service movement members outside the borders of Turkey, and seized 214 schools in 18 countries around the world.

Relations between Erdogan and Colin were strained when Erdogan's greedy party began to take full control of the series of demonizing the service movement of Colin on the ground at the end of 2010, as the struggle for influence that caused a rift in the strategic partnership between the group and Erdogan's government during the Turkish ship crisis "Marmara" began. On her way to break the siege on Gaza, at the time Colin said, "The Turkish side is at fault because Marmara did not obtain permission to enter Gaza," describing it as "an infringement of legitimacy."

Erdogan's statement came on the occasion of the fourth anniversary of the failed coup during hosting the families of the martyrs of the coup attempt at the presidential compound in Ankara.

Erdogan alleged, saying: So far we have brought more than 100 terrorists from the Koln organization who had fled abroad after the coup attempt and brought them to justice, and we were able to convert the management of 214 schools of the organization in 18 countries to stop Turkish knowledge, as we closed the hotbeds of sedition to the organization in 36 countries ” According to the Anatolia Agency

He added, "We will firmly continue our struggle against the Gulen organization inside and outside the country, until the last terrorist in its ranks is held accountable before the law."

He said that the Turkish armed forces inflicted severe blows on all terrorist organizations after purifying their structure from the Gülen virus, as he described it.

After the failed coup, the Turkish regime launched a fierce security campaign that resulted in the liquidation of state institutions from all those suspected of not supporting Erdogan, and at the top of these institutions are the army, police, judiciary and media, and the outcome of those affected by this campaign indicates the extent of its ferocity, according to media reports.

The measures taken during the two-year state of emergency that followed the coup resulted in the arrest of about 80,000 people pending trial, and the dismissal and dismissal of about 150,000 government employees, military and police personnel, and others.

The Turkish Ministry of Defense said earlier that since the attempted coup of July 15, 2016, 15,583 soldiers have been dismissed from the army as part of the service movement investigations, while administrative and criminal investigations against 4 thousand and 156 soldiers are still ongoing.

Turkish President Recep Erdogan holds the service movement responsible for plotting the alleged coup in 2016, but his accusation lacks tangible evidence, and he has not yet been allowed to publish a fact-finding report on the coup attempt that parliament finished in 2017.

Yesterday, Turkish opposition leader Kemal Kılıçdaro أوlu said that President Erdoانan was aware of the coup attempt.

Erdogan was aware of the coup attempt, but he did not prevent it, and he moved in time to thwart it to exploit it to suppress and liquidate the opposition and enhance its influence, taking advantage of the popular sympathy with him, according to the vision of the Republican People's Party.

Earlier, Human Rights Watch said that the Turkish regime's condemnation of four human rights defenders on July 3, 2020, without evidence of any criminal offenses, was politically motivated and an attempt to stifle the legitimate work of the human rights movement in Turkey.

Istanbul Court, Taner Kılık, 35, who is the honorary president of Amnesty International in Turkey, was convicted of belonging to a terrorist organization and sentenced to six years and three months in prison. It also convicted three others on trumped-up charges including helping and inciting a terrorist organization and sentencing them to prison. 25 months.

"In three years, the police and prosecutors have provided no evidence of criminal activity by any of the 11 human rights defenders who have stood trial ... four were convicted for their work," said Hugh Williamson, director of the Europe and Central Asia division at Human Rights Watch. The project in the field of human rights in another trial shows how any independence in the Turkish justice system collapsed under political pressure. "

Kelik was first arrested in Izmir on June 6, 2017, and days later he was placed in pretrial detention, where he spent 14 months, and his case was combined with the case of ten other human rights defenders arrested on July 5, 2017 in a police raid on A human rights education workshop they were participating in on the island of Buyukada, Istanbul and a German and Swedish citizen were among the defenders.

All 11 were subjected to a coordinated media smear campaign suggesting that they were involved in a conspiracy to cause chaos and claiming to have links with a number of outlawed organizations. The media that followed the smear campaign was closely aligned with the government and made allegations against the accused.
