The Gülen movement’s contributions to opening Turkey up to the modern world were praised during a one-hour program launched on ERT, Greece’s national broadcaster, on Monday.

The program, titled “Değişen Türkiye” (Turkey Changing), featured the opinions of many leading Greek journalists, academics and politicians on the Gülen movement. Fethullah Gülen was described as a “retired preacher and intellectual” in the program. The program said the Gülen movement, inspired by Fethullah Gülen, supports Turkey’s efforts to keep pace with the modern world. It also said the movement attaches great importance to education, modernization and the coexistence of different cultures.
