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.
