The famous football player Hakan Şükür, who for many years played for Turkish club "Galatasaray" and the Turkish national team was declared a supporter of Fatullah Gulen, and the Turkish authorities have issued a warrant for his arrest. According to agency "Anadolu", Shukur is accused of being a member of a terrorist group that committed a coup attempt on July 15. Shukur and his family left the country last year. A 44-year-old ended his career in 2008 and entered politics.
In 2011 he was elected to the Turkish parliament from the ruling party "Justice and Development". However, in 2013 he left ranks and became an independent MP. The reason was disagreement with the persecution of football followers Gullu. Earlier this year, Shukurov was accused of insulting President Erdogan of Turkey in the "Twitter".
