Ismail Sezgin

HARDtalk's Zeinab Badawi speaks to Ismail Sezgin, Director of the Centre for Hizmet Studies in the UK, an education NGO founded and inspired by supporters of Gulen. The Turkish government is using a state of emergency to continue hunting down people whom it claims are followers of the reclusive US-based Turkish cleric Fethullah Gulen. The government blames him for the failed coup, and wants the US to extradite him to Turkey to stand trial. He denies involvement. Is the Gulenist movement a threat to the Turkish state?
