Gülenist network a global threat, Erdoğan says in Tanzania
|
 [Hurriyet Daily News] The Gülenist network is a threat not only to Turkey but to all the countries in which it operates, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has said during a state visit to Tanzania.
Speaking at the Tanzania Business Forum on Jan. 23, Erdoğan underlined the prevalence of the Gülenist network in different regions of the world, “hiding behind the notions of humanitarian aid, education, and trade.”
The group is “not only a threat to Turkey but to all countries in which it has activities,” he said. “We know that this sneaky network has arms in Tanzania. We have discussed the required measures with the president. I will ask a favor from you. Do not pay attention to any establishment, especially businessmen’s associations that have the name of ‘Turkey’ but do not have any ties to us and have not been recognized by our embassy,” he said.
“The biggest problem of the world currently is terror. Therefore, we should take measures against this terror altogether. ‘Soft terror, hard terror’ ... We should never come to this plot,” said Erdoğan, adding that he believed Tanzania would take “much different measures” in the upcoming period against the Gülenist network.
The Gülenist movement is accused of perpetrating the July 15, 2016, coup attempt in Turkey.
