The
Point’s editor-in-chief, Osman Kargbo, has left The Gambia for Turkey to get
better understanding of the Fettulah Terrorist Organisation – Feto (also known
as Gulen Group) and the coup attempt on the Turkey Government on 15 July this
year.
The
trip is also out to improve relations between Turkey and African countries,
particularly The Gambia.
Mr
Kargbo, together with other journalists from The Gambia and other countries in
Africa, will also have the opportunity to know more about the Turkish economy
and socio-political milieu.
The
weeklong visit to Turkey, a country with land on the continents of Europe and
Asia, was facilitated by the Turkish Embassy in The Gambia.
Speaking
to his colleagues and editorial team at The Point, Kargbo said the trip would
enhance his knowledge about Turkey and enable him to know the genesis of the
Feto Group and the coup attempt on the legitimate government of President Recep
Tayyip Erdogan.
He
thanked the Turkish Ambassador to The Gambia, H.E. Ergin Soner and staff of the
Embassy for facilitating the trip.
He
also thanked the management of The Point, especially the managing director and
co-publisher, Mr Pap Saine and Mr Philip Kotey, for their support to ensure the
trip is realised.
