QR code entry for Fethullah Gülen's funeral: Large-scale ceremony at stadium

FETÖ leader Fethullah Gülen passed away in the US on Sunday. A ceremony is being held today at a stadium located an hour away from his home ahead of the funeral, for which burial was expected today.

While internal disputes continue within the organization regarding who will attend the funeral, where he will be buried, and when the burial will take place, it was decided to hold the funeral ceremony on October 24 at 11:00 local time in an effort to project an image of unity. Meanwhile, senior figures of the organization are expected to gather for the announcement of Gülen's will.

THEY WANT TO TURN THE BURIAL INTO A DEMONSTRATION

In addition to the delay in funeral proceedings due to internal debates, efforts are being made to avoid releasing images of the preparations as much as possible. At the same time, there is a push to ensure the largest possible turnout. It has been stated that some senior members of the organization oppose a large funeral ceremony due to security and privacy concerns, while another group wants to turn the burial into a demonstration.

PERSONALIZED QR CODES

Those who want the burial proceedings to be kept secret are persistently emphasizing the rules they want followed during the funeral process within their communication networks. These individuals are urging organization members who will attend the funeral to be cautious of people they do not recognize and to refrain from provocative speech.

'KEEP A LOOKOUT'

Messages such as "Even at the funeral, listen to your surroundings and keep a lookout" are being sent through the organization's communication networks. Due to the prevailing anxiety, it was decided that entry to the funeral would be via QR code. Personalized QR codes have been assigned to organization members.

Those who want the burial to be public and turned into a demonstration are focused on a different aspect of the funeral. These individuals, whose goal is to show Gülen's burial to the entire world, have also announced which of the organization's channels will broadcast the event live. Furthermore, while they are calling for short and clear messages, the organization is emphasizing "Herkul.org" in its internal communications.

This situation signals that there will be changes in the organization's media structure, and it is expected that the influence of Ekrem Dumanlı, Cevdet Türkyolu, and Muhammed Yeşilyurt will be seen in the media wing following the planned reorganization.
