He faced multiple elimination attempts\u2014not all of them purely political. In his rare statement, Fidan admitted to being targeted with a toxic substance and receiving secret treatment afterward. He chose to remain silent at the time to preserve the stability of the institution he led and to avoid giving his enemies any advantage.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1565\" data-end=\"1910\">Though the Turkish minister did not name those behind the attempt, he pointed fingers at both \u201cdomestic and foreign enemies,\u201d particularly the Gulen movement, which he labeled a terrorist organization. He stressed that the attack wasn\u2019t just personal but part of a coordinated campaign that targeted his family, reputation, and political circle.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"rtl\" lang=\"ar\">\u0641\u064a \u0639\u0627\u0644\u0645 \u0627\u0644\u0638\u0644\u0627\u0644 \u0646\u0627\u062f\u0631\u064b\u0627 \u0645\u0627 \u064a\u062a\u062d\u062f\u062b \u0645\u0646 \u064a\u062d\u0643\u0645\u0648\u0646 \u0645\u0646 \u0648\u0631\u0627\u0621 \u0627\u0644\u0643\u0648\u0627\u0644\u064a\u0633.. \u0644\u0643\u0646 \u0647\u0630\u0647 \u0627\u0644\u0645\u0631\u0629 \u0642\u0631\u0631 &#8220;\u0631\u062c\u0644 \u0627\u0644\u0638\u0644&#8221; \u0641\u064a <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/%D8%AA%D8%B1%D9%83%D9%8A%D8%A7?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#\u062a\u0631\u0643\u064a\u0627<\/a> \u0623\u0646 \u064a\u062e\u0631\u062c \u0639\u0646 \u0635\u0645\u062a\u0647<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/%D9%87%D8%A7%D9%83%D8%A7%D9%86_%D9%81%D9%8A%D8%AF%D8%A7%D9%86?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#\u0647\u0627\u0643\u0627\u0646_\u0641\u064a\u062f\u0627\u0646<\/a>.. \u064a\u062f <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/%D8%A3%D8%B1%D8%AF%D9%88%D8%BA%D8%A7%D9%86?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#\u0623\u0631\u062f\u0648\u063a\u0627\u0646<\/a> \u0627\u0644\u0636\u0627\u0631\u0628\u0629\u060c \u0648\u0631\u062c\u0644 \u0627\u0644\u062f\u0648\u0644\u0629 \u0627\u0644\u062a\u0631\u0643\u064a\u0629 \u0627\u0644\u0635\u0627\u0645\u062a\u060c \u0648\u0639\u0631\u0651\u0627\u0628 \u0627\u0644\u0627\u0633\u062a\u062e\u0628\u0627\u0631\u0627\u062a \u0627\u0644\u0645\u0627\u0643\u0631\u060c \u064a\u062a\u062d\u062f\u062b \u0644\u0623\u0648\u0644 \u0645\u0631\u0629 \u0639\u0646 \u0646\u062c\u0627\u062a\u0647 \u0645\u0646 \u0645\u062d\u0627\u0648\u0644\u0629 \u0627\u063a\u062a\u064a\u0627\u0644 \u0628\u0627\u0644\u0633\u0645\u060c \u0648\u064a\u0643\u0634\u0641 \u062a\u0641\u0627\u0635\u064a\u0644 \u062e\u0637\u064a\u0631\u0629 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/9AY1R3170F\">pic.twitter.com\/9AY1R3170F<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 \u0648\u0637\u0646. \u064a\u063a\u0631\u062f \u062e\u0627\u0631\u062c \u0627\u0644\u0633\u0631\u0628 (@watanserb_news) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/watanserb_news\/status\/1921333461618458631?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 10, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1912\" data-end=\"2190\">Hints suggest the assassination attempt occurred in 2016, a critical period during the failed coup in Turkey.
