Why Gülen’s followers never criticize Gülen and his view of the Kurdish problem

By Dr Aland Mizell: Denial is a common tactic for Gulenists and their leader who substitute deliberate ignorance for thoughtful planning.

Kemalism replaced by Gülenism in Turkey

By Dr. Aland Mizell: A man-made system or revolution lasts as long as its master lives; when the man dies, the system dies with the man. Once a friend of mine traveled to Turkey, a decade or so ago, and he was surprised at the omnipresence of Ataturk. Everywhere were busts, statues, and pictures of…

Why did Prime Minister Recep Tayip Erdogan not listen to Gülen?

By Dr. Aland Mizell: I was not surprised to see that Erdogan’s and Gülen’s relations have turned sour. Gülen and his followers are opportunistic.
