| Ankara seeks extradition from Germany of ’top coup fugitive’ |
| 2017-11-22 |
| [ARABNEWS] ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... is to ask German authorities to extradite a top suspect in last year’s failed coup who still remains on the lam, state media said on Tuesday. A request for Adil Oksuz to be extradited from Germany has been prepared following a demand from an Ankara criminal court, the Anadolu news agency said. Berlin has never confirmed if Oksuz is in the country, but Turkey in August asked the German government to formally investigate reported sightings of him. Ankara blames the doomed July 15, 2016, coup attempt to oust President Sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan the First ... Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him... on US-based Islamic preacher 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... , and has implemented a ruthless crackdown on his suspected supporters. Turkey has pressed Washington ‐ so far without success ‐ to extradite Gulen, who denies the allegations, from his Pennsylvania compound to face trial in Turkey. |
