In the midst of all these incidents watched with sorrow, astonishment, as a lesson to learn from and sometimes in horror, I have to take a look at the famous main indictment.

I summarize here what a man named Nurettin Veren said about me today: “I left the Hizmet movement in 1996. I know Akin Ipek very well. I’ve known him since before 1990??? I’ve sat with his elder brother at their petrol station on numerous occasions. I used to go to their printers a lot. He was among the Samanyolu trustees. He was in the printing business. He was ordered to go into mining.”
Apparently, Nurettin Bey has been my friend for 27 years…maybe 30.
I beg his pardon, but I have no recollection of it. Not a telephone conversation nor a meeting…
