Communist Party of Turkey on Fethullah Gülen's death

In a comment posted on social media concerning the death of US-based cleric Fethullah Gülen, the Communist Party of Turkey (TKP) stresses out:

"He was a faithful servant of the capital and the multinational monopolies. His greatest service was the realization of the expansionist ambitions of the capitalist class in Turkey and implementation of regional policies developed in collaboration with the USA. He led a life full of crimes against the people and laid the foundations of conditions in Turkey today, which is built by the AKP government. 

 We do not find any consolation in the death of Fethullah Gülen, because religious sects still plague the state and all spheres of public life. We find no joy because he died without having to answer for any of his many crimes. We postpone our jubilations to the day when the damages caused by Fethullah Gülen will be eradicated, when we expel imperialism, capitalism and reactionism from our beloved country. That will be the day when the people will let out a sigh of relief."
