Turkish PM Yıldırım warns Bosnia Herzegovina of FETÖ threat

The Turkish Prime Minister warned Bosnia and Herzegovina that the Fetullah Terrorist Organization (FETÖ) could harm it as it did Turkey.

Bosnian Hayat TV broadcast Monday an interview conducted with Binali Yıldırım last week during his visit.

Yıldırım said FETÖ had also greatly damaged Islam.

He said FETÖ was active in Bosnia.

"You should never tolerate activities of FETÖ," Yıldırım warned.

"They killed people ruthlessly and they destroyed all of our sacred values," he added.

FETÖ and its U.S.-based leader Fetullah Gulen orchestrated the defeated coup of July 15, 2016 in Turkey, which left 250 people martyred and nearly 2,200 injured.

Ankara also accuses FETÖ of being behind a long-running campaign to overthrow the state through the infiltration of Turkish institutions, particularly the military, police, and judiciary.
