FETO members are worried about a negative attitude towards immigrants with the rise of the far right following the elections in Germany.
FETO’S PASSION FOR GERMANY
Germany is one of the safest countries for FETO before and after the July 15 failed coup attempt. FETO has had significant organizational investments in Germany since the early 1990s. Abdullah Aymaz, one of the most important managers of the organization after the ringleader Fetullah Gülen and the so-called responsible for the organization structure on the European continent, also lives in Germany. Aymaz carries out all his organization-related activities from Germany, which has the largest economy in Europe.
Like Aymaz, one of the most important names of FETO, many FETO members also reside in Germany. Approximately a quarter of FETO members who escaped from Turkey choose Germany to live.
There are political reasons as well as labor force behind Germany’s embrace of FETO members. It is known that Adil Öksüz, one of the planners of the failed coup attempt of July 15, also escaped from Turkey and the last place he was seen was Germany.
FETO CONTINUES ITS “PRIVATE” TACTICS IN GERMANY
Many of the FETO soldiers who escaped from Turkey after the failed coup attempt fled to Germany. In addition, the number of FETO soldiers who deserted and started living in Germany despite being called to Turkey while on NATO duty is also quite high.
Germany, one of the most powerful countries in the European Union, is one of the countries where FETO’s secret structures are most alive. The organization continues the same process it established in Turkey in Germany. The “private brothers” who try to keep control here continue to influence especially the fugitive soldiers. Fugitive soldiers are not allowed to meet with other FETO members. The needs of their work, home and family are also met by the organization.
The organization attaches great importance to obtaining citizenship from FETO members in Germany, especially soldiers and police officers expelled from Turkey. The organization wants FETO expelled soldiers and police officers to integrate into society in Germany and to infiltrate the staff in their own lines of business in public institutions in Germany.
It is known that the organization has been seriously planning, making programs and investments in this regard for the last five years, and thus aims to maintain its power in the German bureaucracy by gradually infiltrating German institutions.
FETO’S CASTLE IN GERMANY IS IN SHOCK
The attack, which took place at the Christmas Market in Magdeburg, Germany, on December 21, caused alarm bells to ring for all immigrants living in the country. Protests against immigrants began across the country because the perpetrator of the attack was an immigrant of Saudi Arabian origin who had been living in Germany for a long time.
These protests against immigrants affected FETO members the most. The Germany plan, in which the organization had invested, began to fail. There are concerns that the strengthening of the far right and anti-immigrant voter pressure in the elections to be held in February 2025 will hinder citizenship procedures.
For this reason, especially fugitive FETO soldiers and public officials were in a rush to speed up the citizenship procedures. Another concern of FETO members was that, following the developments in Syria, European countries were looking for ways to send Syrian immigrants back to their country. The fear that it would be their turn after the Syrians were sent back to their country deeply shook FETO members.
