In his first interview since declaring a state of emergency following the abortive coup, Erdogan said a new coup attempt was possible but would not be easy, saying "we are more vigilant".

On the extradition of shady Pennsylvania-based Islamic scholar Fethullah Gulen from the United States, Kurtulmus said a new dossier on Gulen’s role in the attempted coup would be sent to the U.S. authorities within 10 or 15 days. "Law, friendship and our strategic relationship requires immediate extradition of this person. We definitely want him from the United States," he said, while also complaining about a "lack of empathy" on the U.S. side | ||||
