Turkish Islamic scholar Fethullah Gülen's lawyer has dismissed claims in a report by the International Herald Tribune and said his client has no hidden agenda.

Orhan Erdemli said in a statement on Friday that claims in the article, which accused Gülen supporters of infiltrating into police and judiciary, are unfounded and baseless.

He said it has become necessary to issue a statement due to the reappearance of the same false claims against Gülen—claims which have originated from Turkey and which have indeed been repeatedly published in the Turkish media.
