"But it's never been as blatant as this," he told SETimes. "There is no way Sik and Sener are ultranationalists." He believes hard-line activists within the influential Fethullah Gulen religious community, which has strong representation within the AKP, are behind the latest arrests.
„Ali, to nikada nije bilo otvoreno kao što je ovo“, rekao je on za SETimes. „Nema šanse da su Šik i Sener ultranacionalisti.“ On veruje da iza najnovijih hapšenja stoje tvrdokorni aktivisti iz uticajne verske zajednice Fetula Gulen, koja je snažno zastupljena unutar AKP.
