Turkey warns US not to ‘sacrifice’ relations for sake of Gulen

ANKARA, (APP/AFP): Turkey warned the US on Tuesday
not to sacrifice the two countries’ relations for the sake of the Pennsylvania-based preacher Fethullah Gulen, who Ankara blames for the July 15 failed coup.
“If the US does not deliver (Gulen), they will sacrifice relations with Turkey for the sake of a terrorist,” Justice Minister Bekir Bozdag told
reporters during a televised briefing in the capital Ankara. Turkey has
repeatedly pressed Washington to extradite Gulen to face trial in Turkey.
