media workers protest after operations against followers of Fethullah Gulen
According to the source of the detainees are the authorities Boydak Holding company and university employees. A representative of Boydak Holding told Reuters that he knows nothing about the arrests.
yesterday – as reported the newspaper “Today’s Zaman” – police raided a dozen private schools in the province of Mardin, relying on suspicion of tax evasion. Police action daily interprets as part of an operation against the movement Hizmet (Staff), headed by Gulen lives in the United States. This movement controls an extensive network of private schools and businesses in Turkey, also works abroad.
According to the commentators Hizmet once supported Turkey’s ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) – the party with Islamist roots – but then their paths diverged. The president of Turkey, and previously prime minister and head of the ACP Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan accused Gulen of the building in the country “parallel structures” through their supporters in the judiciary, police and other institutions.
In particular, according to Erdogan, the Gulen supporters are behind the corruption scandal that in late 2013 shook the Turkish government. When the investigation into alleged corruption has gained momentum, then Erdogan’s office carried out a major purge in the courts and the police, where it was released people believed to be supporters of Gülen.
