WE CONDEMN KILIÇDAROĞLU'S BASELESS ALLEGATIONS
"Established under U.S. law and operating within this framework, the TÜRKEN Foundation offers accommodation and scholarship opportunities to Turkish youth coming to the U.S. for education. As a transparent and accountable educational foundation monitored by U.S. authorities, it has already attained a respected position in the country where it operates." "We find it difficult to understand the motivation behind efforts to tarnish the work of such a grand and valuable vision — a project that should make all citizens of the Republic of Türkiye proud — by turning it into material for lies and smear campaigns." "We strongly condemn the presentation of information, already shared with American authorities and accessible to any citizen via open sources, as if it were shrouded in mystery, and the willingness to be a pawn in a smear campaign against our country." "These baseless and unethical allegations entirely resembling a FETÖ conspiracy from start to finish have neither legal nor moral grounds. Our decision to even respond to these irrational and senseless claims stems not from the value we assign to their proponents, but from the respect we have for the public.
