NEW and disturbing: Erdogan's spokesman says that Turkish intel will run ‘operations’ against Erdogan's political opponents, including in the U.S. dailycaller.com/2018/09/24/erd… via @dailycaller
"Our relevant units and institutions will continue their operations in the countries the [Gulen Organization] operates in whether it be the U.S. or some other country,” said Erdogan spokesman Ibrahim Kalin. He then brought up the kidnappings of Turkish nationals in Kosovo.
Certain operations have already been run in the U.S. against Erdogan critics. Besides a massive lobbying campaign, Turkish media outlets have surveilled journalists and academics living in the U.S. Reported here last year: dailycaller.com/2017/04/03/who…
One journalist who has been targeted by the Turkish government, @aydogan29, tells me that Turkish intel is capable of running these operations. But he suspects that Erdogan's spokesman could be trying to scare would-be protesters of Erdogan at UN General Assembly.
