Pakistan is to expel 108 teachers working for the Fetullah Terrorist Organization's (FETÖ) schools, as the Islamabad High court rejects the appeal demand of FETÖ terrorists who were asked to leave in five days by the Interior Minister.
The court highlighted that they are not authorized to intervene in the Interior Ministry's decision in the extension of visas.
"In Pakistan, if a visa has expired, the interior ministry has the right to decide if that visa can be extended or not," the court decision said.
The statement paves way for around 400 people, 108 teachers and their families, to leave Pakistan until November 20.
On Thursday, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan called teachers and their families to leave Pakistan immediately.
Also, during his speech in Pakistan, Erdoğan called on Pakistan to cooperate against all terrorist organizations, particularly Daesh and FETÖ, which threatens the security and the integral territory of the countries in the region.
As a response, Pakistan also said it was fully committed to cooperate with Turkish authorities in its fight against the terrorist organization that spread to many continents, including Asia.
Previously Islamabad asked 108 teachers working at the schools of Fetullah Terrorist Organization (FETÖ) to leave the country with their families until November 20.
The decision includes teachers working in dozens of schools and their families, which amounts to around 400 people.
The FETÖ is known to have 24 schools across Pakistan; six of them in Islamabad, five of them in Lahore, three of them in Karachi, three in Quetta, two in Peshawar, two in Multan, and one each in Haripur, Hyderabad and Amshoro.
These schools are known to be used as tools to reach the children of the richest families of the country, provide them education and intervene in the politics of the country via these people.
Turkish officials repeatedly warned countries of the threat of the FETÖ formation in many countries, which may trigger possible coup bids there, similar to the recent coup attempt in Turkey.
A violent coup bid was witnessed on July 15, mostly in Turkey's cities, when the terrorist group headed by Fetullah Gülen attempted to topple the democratically-elected government.
Turkey's government says the deadly plot, which martyred more than people and injured more than 2,100 others, was organized by FETÖ members.
The FETÖ terrorists infiltrated Turkish institutions, particularly the military, police and judiciary for years before they attempted the coup.
