FETO is trying to build closer ties with the Indonesian academic community by inviting prominent academics to their events, it stated.
Any personal or academic contact with individuals within FETO is against the spirit of friendly and brotherly relations between Indonesia and Turkiye, it added.
"Therefore, we ask Indonesia to continue to be aware of FETO's activities as they are a threat not only to Turkiye but also to the brotherhood of the Indonesian nation."
FETO is a sui generis organization similar to a religious sect that has anointed a cleric named Fethullah Güllen as its supreme leader. On July 15, 2016, the group attempted a coup by bombing Turkish government buildings.
The President of Turkiye, Recep Tayyip Erdogan designated July 15 as Democracy and National Unity Day in memory of those who died in the event, as well as the Turkish people and security forces who thwarted the coup attempt.
