Ankara does not consider the United States involved in the coup attempt
CNN cites a statement by Turkish Deputy Prime Minister Numan Kurtulmush, in which he claims that "there is no suspicion that the United States was behind the organization of the coup attempt, Ankara does not have any."
Kurtulmush:
However, against this background, the Turkish Deputy Prime Minister outlined the position of Ankara, according to which Turkey will not abandon the requirements for the United States to extradite the preacher Fethullah Gülen.
Deputy Chairman of the Turkish Cabinet:
It is hardly possible to assume that the United States had no idea about the preparation of a coup d'etat in Turkey, if only because Gulen’s activities were actively “monitored” by the American special services. Therefore, in the statements of Kurtulmush there is a significant share of guile.
