Kamran Aliyev and Bekir Shahin
Turkish Prosecutor General thanks Azerbaijan for the fight against supporters of Gulen
Baku/15.02.21/Turan: On February 15, the Prosecutors General of Azerbaijan and Turkey Kamran Aliyev and Bekir Shahin had a meeting in Ankara.
Prosecutors discussed issues of combating terrorism. “Islam and terrorism are incompatible. Turkey is fighting not only the terrorists DEASH, Al-Qaeda, PKK, but also the terrorist organization of Fetullah Gulen's Parallel State (FETÖ),” Sahin said. He recalled that Gulen's accomplices created cells in many countries, including Azerbaijan, and infiltrated the education sector and the media.
“Fraternal Azerbaijan has demonstrated the necessary scrupulousness on this issue by closing many schools, media outlets and enterprises of Gulen's terrorists. We are grateful to brotherly Azerbaijan for sensitivity and support,” Anadolu news agency quoted Shahin. -02В-
