Turkish ‘intelligence sources confirm death of FETO terrorist organization ringleader Fetullah Gulen,’ says Fidan.

Our intelligence sources confirm the death. The leader of this dark organization is dead. Our nation’s determination in the fight against terrorism will continue.

This news will not lead us to relaxation or complacency. It has been a rare threat of its kind. It has deceived and recruited our youth and turned them into a machine that betrays their sanctities.

These people are used by the intelligence services as weapons against their values. With this death, the spell on them should be lifted. I call on them to renounce this betrayal. This path is not a good path. The end of this path is not a good end.

FM Fidan met with his Ukrainian counterpart in Ankara today. Relations between the two countries, the latest situation in the Russia-Ukraine war and many other topics were discussed during the meeting in Ankara.

Fidan said that the news of this death would never lead them to complacency or complacency and added: “This organization has been a rare threat focus in the history of our nation. It deceived thousands of young people into joining its ranks in the name of sacred values and turned them into a machine that betrayed their homeland, nation and sacred values.”

Minister Fidan pointed out that these people were being used as weapons against their own countries, nations and values in the hands of intelligence services abroad in great disgrace, and said:

On the occasion of this death, the spell should be lifted from them and I invite them to give up this wrong path full of betrayal, to give up working against their states and nations. This path is not a good path. The end of this path is not a good end. Our nation and state will continue to fight against this organization as they fight against all kinds of terrorist organizations. They should know to turn back while the road is close.

Meanwhile, Turkish Minister of Justice Tunc commented on Gulen’s death, saying, “The fight against this organization, which is a national security problem against our country, will not be limited to the FETO ringleader, but will continue with all its elements and extensions.”
