A recently obtained classified document has confirmed that Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan, former chief of the notorious Turkish intelligence agency MIT, wasted little time in orchestrating a swift transformation of the Turkish diplomatic service into an extensive apparatus for collecting information and conducting espionage activities in foreign countries.
The document, stamped secret and dated October 19, 2023, reveals that Turkish diplomats in Canada collected information on a critic of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s government and subsequently transmitted the information gathered to headquarters in Ankara.
Turkey has a long history of messing about in Canada and elsewhere.
