Venezuela School

The Maarif Foundation, which was established by the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) government in 2016, has taken over the management of two schools linked to the Gülen group in Venezuela, the pro-gov’t Sabah daily reported on Saturday.

The Foundation has so far taken over at least 78 schools linked to the Gülen group in Guinea, Somalia, Sudan, People’s Republic of the Congo, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Tunisia, Senegal and Chad with their 8,506 students. The foundation has recently signed an agreement to take over Gülen movement schools in Afghanistan, which have more than 8,000 students.

The foundation also has opened 32 new schools in 11 countries: Gambia, Sierra Leone, Djibouti, Sao Tome and Principe, the United States, Kosovo, Afghanistan, Georgia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Tanzania and Macedonia, having a total of 1,127 students.

Mr. Erdoğan accuses the Gülen movement of masterminding a failed coup attempt in Turkey on July 15, 2016.

Despite the movement denying involvement in the failed coup, the Turkish government launched a witch-hunt targeting the movement following the putsch.

Interior Minister Süleyman Soylu on April 18, 2018 said the total number of people who were arrested over their alleged ties to the Gülen movement between July 15, 2016 and April 11, 2018 is 77,081.

Soylu said on Dec. 12 that 234,419 passports have been revoked as part of investigations into the movement since the failed coup.

On Nov. 16 Soylu had said eight holdings and 1,020 companies were seized as part of operations against the movement.

The number of people who have been investigated for alleged ties to the Gülen movement reached 402,000 in March, the state-run Anadolu news agency reported on March 15.

Professional courtesy from one Dictator (Maduro, Venezuela) to another (Erdogan, Turkey).

I read that Erdogan the Islamist dictator of Turkey had confiscated 12 billion worth of Gulenist property by September 2016. Imagine what it is now?

Inside Turkey this has been a practice since the beginning of Modern Turkey. Confiscation of Charitable, Religious and Humanitarian organizations property by the state, when they could find an excuse.

But the brainwashed allegience isn’t there like it was in WWII Germany and Japan.

Not the folks in Venezuala. Not the under 40s in Iran.

Not too sure about the Chinese.

Have no idea what the average N Korean thinks.

Bu Iran and Venezuela? They’re ripe for a government overthrow.

Or I could be completely wrong :)

5 years?

Will the citizens of the nation live another year? Last I heard they were starving while the Commie running it is fat as a pig.

A C-130 full of AK’s and ammo would quickly end it.

Thanks, I did not know about that Iran/Russia connection.

Guess it should not be surprising.

Sorry my error. Tareck El Aissami is a minister in Venezuela. But Iranians are all over Venezuela. Turks and Arabs too.
