The West awards FETÖ fugitives wanted by Türkiye with citizenship, asylum

The article discusses Turkey's frustration with Western nations' refusal to extradite members of the Gülenist Terror Organization (FETÖ), particularly after the failed coup attempt of July 15, 2016. Turkey accuses these countries of failing to uphold their commitments to friendship and justice by rejecting extradition requests despite available evidence. Countries like the U.S., Germany, Canada, and the UK have cited various reasons, including potential lengthy prison sentences, lack of mutual extradition treaties, and legal technicalities such as 'dual criminality.' Specific cases mentioned include Suat Yıldırım, Abdullah Aymaz, Turgut Karabulut, and Ayhan Erik, all of whom either received citizenship or faced legal obstacles preventing their extradition. Turkey aims to address these issues through diplomatic and legal channels.
