Kilicdaroglu denies party’s connection with Gulen’s movement

The leader of the opposition Republican People's Party of Turkey, Kemal Kilicdaroglu, has denied the party’s connection with Fethullah Gulen’s movement.

“The media information and statements of some members of the party about its contacts with Gulen’s movement are wrong,” Kilicdaroglu said. Kilicdaroglu also said that, as the leader of the opposition party, he has always been against illegal organizations and structures.

Earlier, an MP from Turkey’s opposition Republican People's Party (CHP), Ayman Guler, admitted that the party had an agreement with the Fethullah Gulen movement. Gulen’s supporters voted for the Republican People's Party during the municipal elections, Trend reports.
