Kerry tells Turkey to provide evidence on Gulen
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleKerry is calling on Turkey to provide hard evidence that a US-based cleric was behind a foiled coup attempt last weekend if it wants him extradited.
Kerry says Wednesday he had made that clear in several phone calls with Turkey’s foreign minister in recent days that mere allegations of wrongdoing against Fethullah Gulen would not meet US extradition requirements.
Turkey submitted documents about Gulen, who lives in exile in Pennsylvania, to the Justice Department on Tuesday. US officials have not yet said whether they constitute a formal extradition request.
