The Gülen movement, led by well-respected Turkish intellectual and scholar Fethullah Gülen, left its mark on a conference held in Cairo on Saturday, with many academics and intellectuals praising the movement for its contributions to world peace.

Organized by the collaborative efforts of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the conference, titled "Cultural Tradition of Egypt and East; From Ancient Ages to Globalization," was attended by many academics and intellectuals from Russia, Germany, France, Turkey, Egypt and Austria. Professor Huda Daweesh from Zagazig University in Egypt, said, "What comes to mind with regard to this movement is peace and ease."

Professor Willy Augustat, president of the International Association of Peace through Culture, described the Gülen movement as a global movement contributing to world peace. "The basis of this movement is Islam. It strives to enable the Islamic world to find its own identity," he said. (Cumali Önal, Cairo)
