The ‘Community' story Der Spiegel ignorantly published

Certain circles who cannot achieve their ends with forged stories in Turkey continue with their black propaganda using the newspapers and journals abroad. They made US newspaper and journals publish many fake stories. Now they try the same with Germany. A German journal compiled a news story by picking up the views which were denied or found to be false. It seeks to present the “Community,” or the Hizmet movement, as a secret order to instill fears in German society. However, those who live abroad know well that the Community always favors dialogue and pays respect to the social order of respective countries. Moreover, those who read the sentences quoted from the people who are presented as members of the Community can easily understand the conspiracy.
