Kerim Balcı

Nigeria, which has been plagued by interfaith and intercultural conflict for some time now, is hosting a conference today and tomorrow discussing Turkish scholar Fethullah Gülen’s ideas and activities on establishing a culture of coexistence and mutual understanding.

The Abuja-based Ufuk Dialogue Foundation and The Fountain magazine representatives informed the local media about a conference at which Fethullah Gülen’s ideas and activities on establishing a culture of coexistence and mutual understanding will be discussed.

Very few people in Turkey can deny that it was the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) that sabotaged the Justice and Development Party (AK Party) government's Kurdish opening attempts. The Habur incident was a clear PKK-orchestrated provocation that abused the bona fide intentions of officials. Just one week after Abdullah Öcalan declared that peace was near, out of the blue, for unknown reasons, the PKK started killing innocent civilians in the streets.
