AKP MP claims Turkey’s Gezi Resistance is a project of Fethullah Gülen movement

AKP’s İstanbul MP Burhan Kuzu, who had been in partnership with the Fethullah Gülen movement for many years and who had provided them with ‘everything they wanted’, has recently shared a comment from his personal social media account and tried to vilify the Gezi Resistance.

Avoiding his own past with the Gülen movement, MP Kuzu, who is also an advisor of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, claimed that Gezi protests were a ‘project of FETÖ’.

In his tweet, he said: “It has been understood with the case on FETÖ-July 15 that Gezi protests are a project of FETÖ. Backing and praising this (Gezi) is same as praising terror. I just wanted to remind!”

Frequent reference to Gezi by not only AKP MPs but also by especially Erdoğan himself has been considered by many as a reflection of persisting fear of the goverment from a possible large-scale backlash from the public.
