Important clarifications concerning Gulen Movement

Journalists and Writers Foundation

Different opinions and views have recently been offered on such delicate issues as tension between the political administration and the Gülen Movement and the involvement of this movement in politics. Turkey is a nation that is undergoing democratization, and it is only natural for the public, as part of a democratic nation, to have such discussions. On the other hand, those who are affiliated with the Hizmet movement are open to constructive criticism and see it as a duty to listen to that criticism and benefit from it. However, to make the ongoing discussion more productive, it is essential to engage with correct conceptions of reality and rely on more accurate information regarding the issues relevant to the general public’s concerns.
