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

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.
