The Turkish newspaper Atik, pro-AKP, which in the past had allegedly said in insult, the imam Fetullah Gülen state of Armenian origin by his mother, re-attack again the former ally of Erdogan titrating:
“The betrayal of Gülen on the so-called Armenian genocide”
(translated from Turkish by Erwan Kerivel)
“A new betrayal of the leader of the terrorist organization fetullahci (members of the Brotherhood) Fetullah Gülen has been updated. While he was in charge of sermons Kirklareli, it appeared that in a letter sent to Armenian Patriarch Caloustian about the so-called Armenian genocide, he used outrageous. (…) In the letter the leader of the terrorist organization, the following words are written: “I can only curse those who have committed a great genocide against the Armenians in the year 1915. Among those who were murdered and massacred were such great men we can look at it with deep emotion (sensitivity), I respectfully pay tribute to these men. “
Kirklareli letter dated 6 May 1965
Writes journalist Ariane Bonzon in Slate dated December 23, 2013 after the revelation of the scandal of corruption in the AKP government that will end the privileged relations between Erdogan and Gulen, accused of ordering a plot with the intention of overthrowing the powers that be.
“… When Prime Minister [Erdogan] offers Fethullah Gulen to return to Turkey in 2012, supporters of the latter are convinced that it is to stop it. Many have the impression of having been deceived by the Turkish Prime Minister.
Is this open war provided a chance for Turkish democracy? The fact that a neo-brotherhood acts which should be held within the parliamentary framework, for an opposition party, or an investigative press, is worrying. The gülénistes can they also be a democratic force, while they are themselves divided between the grassroots movement, open to dialogue, and those who practice their occult power in the upper echelons of the administration and of government ? This double confrontation within the Islamist galaxy is not only an earthquake for the AKP. It also carries the seeds the beginning of a fracture within the New Brotherhood and highlights the deep gap in the private Turkish democracy a real alternation of power. “
