Upon a question about a probe opened against Islamic scholar
Fethullah Gülen, who is in self-exile in the U.S., Kılıçdaroğlu said if
there is any structure that damages the state, it should be tried before
the court. However, Kılıçdaroğlu also stated that the rift between the
Gülen movement and government is mainly caused by the fact that Erdoğan
is attempting to create an enemy because “dictators tend to create
enemies.” He also said it is ridiculous for Erdoğan to say that the
Gülen movement has ruled the country for 12 years.
