- Former Turkish President Abdullah Gül, refused to answer questions of the reporters on the political agenda, on Tuesday.
"Today politics is not on our agenda, today we have sports" he told reporters, during his visit to the the Vodafone Arena Stadium, which is on construction.
Gül said, "That case is closed; there is nothing else..." while responding the reporters' reminding the dialogue between him and Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu, on PM's visit
to U.S.-based Islamic cleric Fethullah Gülen in 2013.
Daily Milliyet on April 30 reported the prime minister as saying he had visited Gülen in October 2013 “with the knowledge of” then-Prime Minister Tayyip Erdoğan and then-President Gül.
In a swift correction, Gül had contradicted Davutoğlu, saying he was not informed before Davutoğlu’s visit to Gülen in 2013.
“There is an error in the part about me [in Davutoğlu’s statement]. I heard about [the visit] afterwards” Gül said late May 1, referring to Davutoğlu’s visit to the government’s ally-turned-nemesis.
Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu had asserted his version of a visit to U.S.-based Islamic cleric Fethullah Gülen in 2013, indirectly contesting former President Abdullah Gül’s version of the story, a day after Gül's swift response.
