My friend is from Turkey and he can't contact his family because he is a Gulen supporter.

Dont wonder about the world. Wonder about Turkish people. I am still trying to figure out that how its possible that Turkish people still love and support Erdogan, when this man has proven to be corrupted, dictator, an indirect ISIS supporter among other things. Your friend's family is a target, even if he doesn't contact them. I know that because when Erdogan visited my country he asked our government to shut down schools that are funded by Gulen foundations. Turkey's economic growth has been steady under his reign, but it was bound to happen, with or without Erdogan as PM or president.
I am sorry about your friend, his family should move out of Turkey (if they are living there, that is)

His family is old and poor and unable to move. I don't know many who still support and love Erdogan. I only know those who are horrified and those who are promoting his agenda, like the woman who sent me that link. I don't know what even she believes. She is a cousin to Erdogan so it could be she has no safe choice other than to be part of his political agenda. This all feels very sad. I remember growing up without access to family. I don't wish that for my friend and his family.

well i would suggest lets bring your friend in steemit :)

Good plan! :) Why didn't I think of that?

i am quite sure you thought about that. maybe u needed a small push :)

lol Are you kidding me? You don't know many who support and loves erdogan? Most of the country loves him and thats why they voted him in. I got to agree he's stepped his oppressiveness lately. But i am sorry but Gulen is the very father of terrorism in turkey and if he takes over he will tranform turkey into an islamic califat. I am for democracy but if its between gulen or erdogan my choice is made.

I'm not sure we have a democracy in the western Countries any more .

Erdogan is not the problem anymore. Russia and Turkey just became allies and together will destroy isis. NATO is enraged at this hence the recent meetings.
