According to him, these schools are doing the bidding of the terrorist group under the guise of educating children.

"These schools are employing the terrorist organizations' members and are serving the traitorous aim of FETO under the mask of education", Tuzun cautioned, as quoted by Graphic.com.gh."These schools were not only a source of threat for the security of Turkey but also for the countries where they are active."
