ANKARA (Sputnik) – The United States offered to dispatch a team to Turkey to help Ankara in processing its request to extradite, US Department of State spokesperson John Kirby said in a Thursday briefing.
"We are ready to participate in the work of the commission to return Gulen as suggested by the United States. We hope to get a positive result. After all, when it comes to cooperation in the fight against terrorism, there should be concrete results," Cavusoglu told TRT broadcaster.
On July 15, the Turkish authorities said that a coup attempt was taking place in the country. The coup was suppressed the following day. Some 290 people were killed and around 1,500 injured during the failed coup, according to the country's authorities.
Thousands of military officers, high-ranking civil servants, judges and teachers suspected of being disloyal to President Recep Tayyip Erdogan have been detained or sacked in Turkey after the failed attempt to overthrow him.
