Kimse Yok Mu team in action in Bosnia

Kimse Yok Mu Foundation tasked its rescue team ASYA to the flood-ridden Bosnia. The foundation also delivered initially 75 million dollar assistance to the region, troubled with the most disastrous rainfall of the past 120 years.

Like water and oil, Hizmet Movement and Political Islam, don’t mix!

The recent local elections in Turkey have been a litmus test for the political power of Hizmet Movement. Although Hizmet is neither a political party nor an entity of similar sort, and although the elections were just for the local mayoral offices, Islamist AK Party based their strategy on a nationwide and even global demonization of Hizmet movement. Erdogan ran like he were the mayoral candidate in each city and as if his only opponent was Fethullah Gulen, and he kept screaming his fallacious and insulting claims until he lost his voice right before the elections. At the end, AK Party came out with a victory, in spite of the ongoing objections in several districts showing that the victory was not that clear –because even in the capital of Turkey the results are still shady after a week. Yet, the big picture of March 30 elections show that Hizmet movement did not have much impact in the overall election results.
