Internal Divisions in the Gulenist Cult

Internal divisions within the Gulenist cult are growing by the day. So far, attempts to prevent such divisions have been unsuccessful, while experts believe this is a preparation for the post-Gulen era. The failure of the July 15 coup attempt has reduced the power of the Gulenist cult in the police, judiciary, and army in Turkey, and therefore, also the cult’s power in other countries. Gulen’s physical and mental health condition has deteriorated, and this hardly allows him to control the cult. At least five different subgroups are struggling to dominate the cult in the post-Gulen era. Recently, one of the prominent Gulenist cult members, Tuncay Opçin, who has been on the run since May 2020, heavily criticized Gulen’s close associates on social media. A fight broke out between Cevdet Türkyolu, the “private secretary” of cult leader Gulen, and the cult’s social media manager, Osman Şimşek. Cult member Emre Uslu notes that there is a “brothers’ fight” within the cult. He said, “The brothers sold the movement. No other group has been as disappointing as the ‘brothers’ in the hierarchical structure of the Gulenist cult.” #gulenistcult #gulenmovement
