A/HRC/37/50/Add.2 affiliated with them.) For instance, it is now understood that in the last 6 years FETÖ-affiliated doctors in the military hospitals in Turkey discharged around 500 military pilots from service, by producing false reports indicating serious health issues. By so doing, they opened the way for the promotion of Gülenist military pilots. • In exchange, the followers would donate 10-20 percent of their future salaries back to FETO. They also act upon the orders of their leaders without questioning. 6. FINANCIAL STRUCTURE During late 1960s Fetullah Gülen worked as a Preacher in İzmir, addressing the community of a small mosque. When he first set off, he was supported by a circle of people attracted to his dreams of raising a “Golden Generation” and his discourses “to grand scholarships and education to the students in need”. Initially, the financial resources necessary for his mission were provided by contributions in kind such as animal skins, food aid, etc., or by supply of money under the cover of “contribution to the students in need” in a traditional way such as “fitrah, alms, donations, grants, benevolent contributions”. Gradually as FETÖ network and financial wealth expanded, the organization started investing in education sector. It established private schools and dormitories. It founded companies dealing with education business and managed the schools through these companies. After a while, the organization set up a printing house to carry out the publications of the education sector. It opened book stores to sell the products; set up companies in relevant fields because the schools needed uniforms and furnishing. The expansion continued with the foundation of logistics and cargo companies, investment in the health sector and finally FETÖ became a dominant figure in all areas of business including in the food, textile, insurance media (Zaman, Samanyolu, etc) and banking (Bank Asya). The financial resources of FETÖ are derived from donations gathered from people by exploiting their religious and charitable feelings. The organization's money and property is collected as "himmet" generally grants, donations, contributions, offerings and aid for students, the poor and orphans. Donors are typically unaware of how their funds are used. Most do not reach their intended beneficiaries and are instead used to pursue the illegal activities to subvert the state. The tuition fees collected from the students that attend FETÖ affiliated educational institutions in Turkey and foreign countries also have been one of the financial sources of the organization. In addition, the organization is financed by the fees regularly collected from the members and affiliated entities. Money collected by the trustees of Gülen is, then, used as seed capital for the establishment of Gülenist firms and companies. The main conglomorate of FETO for this operation was KAYNAK holding . BANK ASYA was the main financial instrument of the Organization. Companies owned or sympathetic to FETÖ were also brought under the umbrella of TUSKON ( Turkey Businessman and Industrialists Confederation). 31
