Criticizing the invitation of leading members of FETO terror group to a fast-breaking dinner - iftar, in Kyrgyzstan, Turkey dismissed it as an “unacceptable” move, ONA reports citing Anadolu Agency.
In a written statement, Foreign Ministry spokesman Hami Aksoy said: “It is unacceptable that leading FETO [Fetullah Terrorist Organization] members in Kyrgyzstan were invited to an iftar dinner organized by the Office of the Grand Mufti of Kyrgyzstan on the 8th of May.”
“In fact, our Ambassador to Bishkek became aware of the situation and reacted rightfully,” he said. Aksoy stressed that combating the FETO presence abroad is among the “main priorities” of Turkey.
According to the Turkish government, FETO and its U.S.-based leader Fetullah Gulen orchestrated the defeated coup of July 15, 2016, which left 251 people martyred and nearly 2,200 injured. Ankara also accuses FETO of being behind a long-running campaign to overthrow the state through the infiltration of Turkish institutions, particularly the military, police, and judiciary.
