On social media circulates a black list. On that list are companies that are ' anti-Erdogan ', says Ahmet Taskan of Association of Hogiaf against RTL news. "The companies that are on that list, according to the creators of that list should be boycotted. Also his colleagues threatened since the failed coup attempt. "

Taskan is concerned: "you're a traitor if you're not up for are, hear you then. Erdogan has created a breeding ground for that unrest. "

Stones through the window also the Foundation Nida in Rotterdam has suffered from threats. The Foundation, which would be sympathetic to Gülen, reports that over the last few days several stones through the Windows of two offices in Rotterdam are thrown. Also volunteers are verbally abused and threatened.

According to the Foundation, there are clear indications that the incidents are the result of the failed coup: "certain members of the Turkish community in Netherlands allege involvement in this political unrest and riots in Turkey. Which is not only completely unjustified, but absolutely inconceivable and totally absurd. "

Erdogan and Gülen who is behind the failed coup by Friday evening, is not yet clear. Erdogan points to his rival Fethullah Gülen, a businessman in self-imposed exile and clergyman, who lives in the U.S. State of Pennsylvania.

Gülen is an outspoken opponent of Erdogan, but he denies emphatically that he has something to do with the action. In fact, he suggests precisely that Erdogan itself behind the coup.

' Stay calm ' Erdogan has lashed out at the hard Gülen-following. The Turkish president has vowed to ' the virus by Gülen-trailer in all institutions to clean '. Those words seem to get resonance in Netherlands.

Rotterdam Mayor Ahmed Aboutaleb said yesterday all that he sees a rise in tensions between the followers of Erdogan and Gülen '. He called Turkish Dutch people on to the relationship not to be upset by the political climate in Turkey.
