Tim is right of course,as usual...There is no organic link with Zaman and the AKP...Zaman is the instrument of the "Movement" started by Fethullah Gulen and was for a long time opposed to certain policies of the AKP...Gulen lives in America and with the aid of a lot of 'deciples' runs a multinational empire built on media interests and educational institutions all around the world...Neither Islamists nor Secularists in Turkey trust this person,because he tries to walk the middle ground,and reportedly has strong links with the American establishment,including the Republican Party and the CIA...

Gulen movement supposedly believe in inter faith and inter ethnic and racial dialogue,and this article might be a timely reminder to the AKP that Gulen has his own ideas about the Cyprus problem...
