  • The Gulen Movement has spent $ 1.5 million to lobby against recognit

    The Gülen Movement has spent $ 1.5 million to lobby against
    recognition of the Armenian genocide by Turkish website


    Proponents of the ideology of Gülen in Turkey and the United States
    over the past 8 years moving spent $ 1.5 million to lobby against
    recognition of the Armenian genocide by the Turkish site Haber
    10reprenant information published by the U.S. site Buzzfeed.

    And since 2007, to lobby against the recognition of the Armenian
    Genocide Gülen movement has donated $ 1.5 million to U.S. politicians.
    Among those who received donations are registered U.S. President
    Barack Obama, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and others.

    Muhammed Fethullah Gülen (born 27 April 1941) is a Turkish preacher,
    former imam and writer. He is the founder of the Gülen movement
    (sometimes known as Hizmet). He currently lives in exile in
    Saylorsburg, Pennsylvania in the United States. Gülen teaches (Hanafi)
    Anatolian version of Islam, derived from the teachings of Sunni
    Islamic scholar Said Nursi.Gülen is actively involved in the public
    debate on the future of the Turkish state, and Islam in the modern
    world. It has been described in the English media as "one of the
    world's most important Muslim figures." However, Gülen movement has
    been described as "having the characteristics of a cult" and its
    concealment and its influence in Turkish politics compared to "an
    Islamic Opus Dei."

    The Gülen movement is a transnational Islamic civic society movement
    inspired by the teachings of Gülen. His teachings on hizmet (selfless
    service to serve the "common good") have attracted a large number of
    supporters in Turkey, Central Asia, and increasingly in other parts of
    the world.

    Despite the claims of Gulen and his followers that the organization is
    non-political in nature, analysts believe that a significant number of
    arrests related to corruption charges against allies of Turkish Prime
    Minister Recep Tayyip ErdoÃ?Â?an reflects a struggle of growing political
    power between Gülen and the Prime Minister.
