Turkey asks Germany for extradition of top coup suspect
[DW] Ankara has formally requested that Berlin arrest and extradite a man suspected of playing a major role in last year's failed coup. The request follows reports suggesting the theology lecturer was spotted in Germany.

Ottoman Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said on Wednesday that The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire....
 sent a diplomatic note to Germany, demanding the extradition of runaway Adil Oksuz.

Cavusoglu told broadcaster TRT Haber that Ankara sent the note following reports that Oksuz was seen in Germany.

"If this person is there, we asked that he be located, taken into custody and returned to Turkey," the minister said.

Oksuz, a theology academic, is accused of being a follower of US-based holy man Fethullah Gulen
... a Turkish preacher living in Pennsylvania whom the current govt of Turkey considers responsible for all the ills afflicting Turkey and possibly the entire world...
, who Ankara says was behind last year's failed coup attempt.

Ottoman Turkish media reported that Oksuz has been seen in the German cities of Frankfurt and Ulm and was granted a temporary residence permit in the southwestern state of Baden-Wurttemberg.

Turkey's most wanted
The Ottoman Turkish government says that Oksuz was a "civilia holy man" for air force personnel who bombed parliament last July as part of efforts to topple the government.

Oksuz was jugged
Don't shoot, coppers! I'm comin' out!
 at Akinci air base once the coup bid collapsed, but was released two days later by an alleged Gulenist judge. He has been on the run ever since and is one of Turkey's most wanted runaways.

Footage released after the failed coup showed Oksuz and his alleged assistant, businessman Kemal Batmaz, arriving at the main airport in Istanbul two days before the attempted putsch.

Ottoman Turkish authorities say the men were returning from a trip to the US where they allegedly met with Gulen, who denies involvement and has condemned the attempted putsch. He has been living in Pennsylvania in self-imposed exile since 1999.

Batmaz remains in detention following his arrest immediately following the failed coup and is awaiting trial
