One of the most interesting questions in Turkey right now is how and what the Gülen Movement will transform itself into during the aftermath of this great crisis it has encountered. It might be useful – albeit insufficient – to take a look at transformative stories of past political movements. After all, this particular movement›s global structure has triggered an unprecedented phenomenon. It is especially unusual for a group's leader and headquarters to be outside the country and its activities to take place in more than 100 countries. Similarly, it is difficult to encounter another movement whose global presence has not prevented it from obsessing over micro-level, routine issues.Inside Turkey, the movement lost the war and subsequently entered into a period of disarmament by bypassing the negotiation stage, which conflict resolution theory identifies as a crucial step. As such, the Gülenist decision to carry on by digging trenches outside the country's borders instead of coming to terms with defeat hints at a much larger crisis in the making.Worshipping universal truths and engaging in a rather sloppy brand of Western-centric discourse, the movement might think global legitimacy represents a weapon both available to itself and useful for its agenda. At this point, the price they will have to pay to attain global legitimacy will have to be mere details. It is, of course, impossible for them to grasp what kind of hell their attempted transformation into a global brand could unleash.To be sure, the movement will be unable to avoid certain exchanges in order to enjoy the protection of global legitimacy. In this context, how it will determine its trade price represents an existential question. After all, Gülenists can only keep their little adventure, which began with voicing concerns over human rights and press freedom, valuable as long as they have new material to feed their demons. This, in turn, will quickly turn into a vicious cycle.It would appear that the Gülenist adventure, which started out as criticism of the Justice and Development Party (AK Party) and developed into hatred toward President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, will amount to desperate opposition to Turkey itself in the end. Over the past months, we have witnessed the group's engagement in the latter group of activities. Meanwhile, a movement obsessing over Turkey cannot be taken seriously at the global level. With the exception of those equally determined to take on the country, the aforementioned venture seems largely unable to find a market for its platform. Obviously, the determination of Turkish authorities, who are well acquainted with this particular market, to withstand such challenges will render the group increasingly less valuable.It remains unclear whether the Gülenists will be able to notice this problem in due time. A valuable contribution came from Pope Francis, the leader of the Catholic Church – which suffers from problems akin to the Gülen Movement's troubles – who issued a list of ills for the Vatican bureaucracy just before Christmas. As a covert movement that derives its worldview from global communication, Gülenists could seriously benefit from Pope Francis's 15 "ailments of the Curia:"1. Feeling immortal2. Working too hard3.
