Thank you very much for being here, and to both of you, clearly there is a love for Turkey, for your dear country, here in Canada as well.
We are most disappointed with what has happened. I, for one, was very proud of what Turkey was doing in its democratization, and of the millions of refugees who Turkey befriended and looked after, and provided schooling to and all of the rest of it. I was terribly disappointed when all of this happened, and with the complete erosion of democracy, as far as I am concerned, there isn't democracy any further in Turkey.
I have just a curiosity and a question on the fact that the president named the Gülen movement as “terrorist”, not just “opposition to something” but as “terrorist”. What grounds would he have to do that, or is it simply his way of wiping out a movement by calling them all terrorists and putting them all in jail?
