Fethullahist Terror Organization

Germany has been trying to turn ongoing problems in bilateral ties with Turkey into a crisis because of looming elections, a senior Turkish official has said, accusing German officials of depicting Turkey as an unsafe country for its investors despite numerous high-level refuting statements from Ankara. 

Foreign Affairs Minister Çavuşoğlu spoke in Brussels and said, "We deported two journalists. They were from different countries. Both of them were apprehended for spying. Upon the request from their countries, we extradited them. There has not been a verdict yet."

How is that possible?

Turkey and Germany resolved an ongoing dispute over the former's alleged investigation on German companies for its links with the Fethullahist Terror Organization (FETÖ) after the Turkish Interior Minister explained to his German counterpart the problem occurred due to a communication problem with Interpol.

The long awaited cabinet reshuffle has finally occurred on July 19.

We can say that one of the most important factors of the reshuffle is securing a backing down from having two heads at the helm of the economic administration.

Turkey's Foreign Ministry stated on July 20 that there had been a serious confidence crisis between Berlin and Ankara recently, describing German Foreign Minister Sigmar Gabriel's remarks as "the latest and an unacceptable example of the one-sided distorted approach" against Turkey.

A commission that has recently been established with the task of inquiring into objections to the state of emergency rulings began its operations on July 17, a year after the coup attempt and emergency rule was declared.

The Republican People's Party (CHP) is prepared to carry out more street protests following the 25-day justice march, said its chairman Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu on July 17. Kılıçdaroğlu also rejected President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan calling his walk from Ankara to Istanbul a "terrorist march."

It is the first anniversary of the terrible July 15, 2016, coup attempt, which deserves to be celebrated as the victory of civil politics over such a dark plot and to be considered as a national day. Indeed, we have to be proud that the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) and all opposition circles duly defended democracy against an attempted coup last year.

What happened in Turkey in the recent year since the bloody coup attempt on July 15, 2016 have perhaps not occurred in any country in the world even in a century.

Turkey expects support and solidarity from the international community, particularly from the United States and the European countries, the EU Minister has said, expressing Ankara's regret over the increasing number of the acceptance of asylum applications of coup plotters in mentioned countries.
