FETO business group registered in Belgium
Documents show members of trade advocacy group linked to coup-plotting FETO have access to EU institutions in Brussels

BRUSSELS (AA) – A trade advocacy organization linked to the Fetullah Terrorist Organization (FETO) has reportedly registered in Belgium in December last year to continue its operations for the group, which has been accused of orchestrating the deadly July 15 coup attempt in Turkey.
According to documents seen by Anadolu Agency on Wednesday, the Turkey-based Confederation of Businessmen and Industrialists of Turkey (TUSKON), which has been closed in Turkey on July 24 because of its links to the terror sect headed by U.S.-based Fetullah Gulen, was registered in Belgium on Dec. 8, 2016 as a non-profit organization under the name TUSKON EU. And on April 25, it moved to an address near EU institutions.
Three members of TUSKON EU currently benefit from accreditation and access to the European Parliament in Brussels, namely director Serdar Yesilyurt, Muhammet Yilmaz and Ebubekir Isik.
When Yesilyurt attended a July 19 foreign affairs committee at the European Parliament to discuss the failed coup in Turkey, he reportedly covered his face to avoid having his picture taken during the discussion. He was the only non-journalist and non-Turkish embassy employee to attend the committee.
TUSKON EU is one of numerous FETO-linked organizations abroad, the purpose of which is to spread the Gulen movement’s propaganda.
The group has been accused of infiltrating the Turkish judiciary, military and police over the years, forming what is commonly known as the parallel state to overthrow Turkey’s elected government.
The Turkish state has said the defeated coup, which left 240 people martyred and nearly 2,200 injured, was organized by followers of Gulen, who has lived in self-imposed exile in Pennsylvania, in the U.S., since 1999.
