US Received No Request for Extradition of Gulen to Turkey – White House

18 July 2016, 17:30 GMT

WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — Any extradition requests for Gulen from Turkey, Toner said, would have to be based on legal analysis and emotion and drama needs to be removed from the process.

"We [United States] have not made any assessment of Gulen’s group and their involvement in this attempted coup [in Turkey]," Toner stated.
