While saying that Fetullahist Terrorist Organization (FETO) was active in Sri Lanka until recently, R. Demet Şekercioğlu, Ambassador of Turkey said the country will maintain its close cooperation with the Sri Lankan counterparts to prevent any possible attempt from FETO elements to take shelter in Sri Lanka.

She expressed these views on the occasion of the fifth year commemoration of the thwarted coup attempt on July 15, 2016.

“We are pleased to note that our collective efforts with international partners reached success to a greater extent and Sri Lanka is also among those countries. From the very beginning, Turkey has warned Sri Lankan authorities against the malicious activities of FETO, which was active through an affiliated school and some business organizations in this country. We are deeply appreciative of the support extended by the Sri Lankan authorities to eliminate the FETO presence in Sri Lanka,” she said.

“As Turkey continues to intensify its operations all around the world, FETO members are feeling trapped more than ever and have been seeking a safe haven. At this juncture, it has gained much more importance to rigorously follow the activities of FETO affiliates in every corner of the world,” she pointed out.

“We strongly believe that as a country which has gained a unique victory against one of the most dangerous terrorist organizations, Sri Lanka will also continue to carry out surveillance on all suspicious terror elements including FETO members at present as well as in the future,” she added.

Turkey is a terrorist country, interfering in Syria, Libya and other Middle East countries sending its army. Turkey is also interfering with Greece. It has weapons being part of NATO. Please don't come here. We will handle our issues.

Turkey is considered like Pakistan a terrorist country in Europe. But a military gouvernment like Sri Lanka can have close relationships with Turkey
