US offered to help on Gülen’s extradition, Turkish FM confirms
This is a bit long but take a look: you won't find this in the American newspapers. This is how Turkey is going to get Gulen extradited. We won't just hand him over but we'll show the Turks, step by step, what they have to do...
[Hurriyet] The United States made an offer to form a working group composed of officials from its foreign affairs and justice departments in order to assist Turkey in preparing its formal request for the extradition of Pennsylvania-based Islamic scholar Fethullah Gülen, who is believed to have orchestrated the July 15 failed coup attempt, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu has confirmed.
That's how Obama quietly does what Yippie wants. Oh no, we won't accede to the demand, we'll just grease the skids...
“We want to bring the ringleader of FETÖ [Fethullahist Terror Organization] to Turkey. Our demand from the U.S. is plain and simple. They should not harbor this person who attempted to make a coup,” Çavuşoğlu said in an interview with state-run broadcaster TRT Haber on July 22, a day after U.S. State Department Spokesperson John Kirby remarked on Turkey’s extradition request.

Underlining that the Foreign Ministry and the Justice Ministry were closely monitoring the process, the foreign minister warned against the possibility that Gülen may flee to another country in order to avoid being extradited and called on Washington to take necessary measures against it.

#1 Gülen had been a close ally of the government until recently, and has lived in the United States since 1999.

So that fellow has just been.... hanging out here for 17 years and has never bothered to become a U.S. citizen? For the sake of argument, how is it he has any protection from extradition ?

Nothing heard from Incilrik Air Base. Are our airmen and civilians still confined to base? No electricity, food, incoming/outgoing flts etc? Appears to be a hostage situation that nobody in the regime (our regime) is discussing. Or do I need to be brought up to date ?

#2 He has been kind of a nasty fellow before. But his Opponent is really good at purging. Why don't we find out more. He is the Police Union guy, not the Airforce guy. Many guys want Turkey to have Lawful Republican in it. Ataturk ya know?

I Pray for the Air-force General in Turkey. He is a man of good Faith.
