While saying that Sri Lanka practices zero tolerance for terrorism, State Minster of Defense Premitha Bandara Tennakoon stressed that acts of any nature that support terrorist activities will be strictly dealt with.

Minister Tennakoon made these remarks when he met Turkish Defence Minister Yaser Guler during his visit to Turkey.

The Turkish Defence Minister highly admired the Sri Lankan Government, especially the intelligence agencies and the security forces for their contribution in cracking down on the Fetullah Terrorist Organization (FETO) led by Fetullah Gulen, elements in the island.

During the meeting, State Minister Tennakoon and Minister Guler had fruitful discussions to further improve potential mutual bilateral assistance in multiple platforms and improve existing ties between both countries.

Fetullah Gulen lives in the US and respected much by the West Monday, 31 July 2023 12:58 AM

Turkey has a political agenda to want Fetullah Gulen dead. Gulen is much respected in Western Democracy, but hated by the corrupt in power group in Turkey.

This State Minister appear to out of touch with what the voters ask. Voters ask for their democratic rights and they are not terrorists. When the voters ask for their rights in peaceful protests and Police use force to suppress them. Then it appear like a battle field. Foreign Ambassadors are aware of all this
