Security Forces Detain Four Afghan-Turk School Teachers
2017-12-13
The reach of Sultan Erdogan Recep Tayyip I, the much beloved, is long, and his hatred for his former BFF is without bounds.
[ToloNews] Students from an Afghan-Turk school in Kabul claim that security forces raided the school and entered girls’ hostel on Tuesday evening.

The National Directorate of Security
...the Afghan national intel agency...
operatives detained four teachers today (Tuesday) morning, who were on their way to an Afghan-Turk high school. We were informed that they were kidnapped. We thought the country’s enemies may have kidnapped them, but later we found out that the officers of the National Directorate Security have detained them," said Yusuf Pashtun, member of the Afghan-Turk students’ parents association.
"How they (security forces) entered a civilian compound and the girls’ hostel while they did not have any order from the court? This is illegal," Sediqullah Tawhidi, another member of the association, said.

Hours after the incident, the Afghan-Turk High School, without pointing out to the security forces’ raid on the school, in a statement said four teachers of the school, including three Ottoman Turkish and one Afghan nationals, are missing.

The statement said the teachers were on their way to Afghan-Turk High School in Shah-e-Do Shamshira area, in the center of Kabul City, and then they were disappeared.

The raid comes after months of deliberations over closure of several Afghan-Turk schools that Ankara believes are run by pro-Gulen institutions.
A former Afghan security official who wished not to be named said he believed the teachers might be extradited to The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire....
even though the two countries have no extradition agreement.

The incident came hours after Afghanistan's Caped President Ashraf Ghani

He worked at the World Bank working on international development assistance. As Finance Minister of Afghanistan between July 2002 and December 2004, he led Afghanistan's attempted economic recovery until the Karzais stole all the money. ..

Following an unsuccessful cope last year, the Ottoman Turkish government asked Kabul to handover the leadership of Afghan-Turk schools to government of Turkey.

Ottoman Turkish government claims that these schools are led by Fethullah Gülen

, who the Ottoman Turkish government says was behind the military cope.
Officials of Afghan-Turk schools and students’ families however have rejected these claims.
