Russia recognized the dangers posed by Turkish self-exiled cleric Fethullah Gulen long before Turkey did, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu told Sputnik.
"The danger, the threat which we did not see in the past, Russia recognized from the beginning. We thought that the followers of this movement are good citizens of the country, people of faith, but we could not even suspect that they are secret agents," Cavusoglu said.
