The Fetullah Terrorist Organization (FETO) has been occupying Turkish public opinion a lot in recent years. The aim of this thesis is to reveal FETO's teachings and organizational methods within the scope of the discipline of anthropology and to compare them with similar structures. This study aimed to academically evaluate the FETO structure, which has a history of approximately 60 years. A lot has been written and said about Gülen and his organization in the past, but their secret ambitions and strategies could not be seen or were not wanted to be seen. As a result of the research conducted in this thesis, FETO has been comprehensively revealed, and the findings and evaluations in the study have been prepared with the aim of serving as a scientific guide and reference for the academy. The scope of the thesis is neither the judicial process regarding FETO nor the religious, political and philosophical debates. The scope is limited to anthropological aspects of FETO's teachings, organizational methods and comparison with similar structures. The research started by examining Gülen's words, writings, theses, articles, legal books and reports written about Gülen and his organization, thus creating an information-data pool. Then, the data in the pool were classified and compared in terms of objectivity. Chronology, terminology and legal acquis were taken into account, and concrete, objective results that could be confirmed from different sources were achieved, avoiding subjective interpretations based on singular information. Subsequently, the result was reinforced by comparing it with similar structures. Ultimately, Gülen sanctified himself as the "Mahdi-Messiah-Messenger". By systematically using religious emotions; He gravitated towards a mystical, vivacious and emotional style. It was understood that he defined his organization as the Golden Generation, the Army of the Sacred, and the Selected Community, and that he united and managed it around himself. It has been determined that they have a cellular organization with a seven-layer hierarchy from the house imamate to the Universe Imam, restrict horizontal communication, and take precautions and taqiyya as their basis. They established relations with foreign intelligence organizations, tried to take over the state, and considered every means to achieve their goal as permissible; They frequently used methods such as pressure, threats, blackmail, conspiracy and assassination. FETO, which is virtually identical with the Moonists, soul mates with the Assassins, united in fate with the Sabatayists, and similar to Opus Dei, Jesuits and Qadiyanis, continues on its way as a distinctive belief or sect that may undergo three different religious, political and cultural divisions after Gülen. It was concluded that it could.
