Gulen is not going to be extradited. There may be a lot of sound and fury, and the US government will say that it is looking carefully at the matter, but he’s not going to be extradited.
Unless Donald Trump becomes President. Then all bets are off.
All bets.
Turkey hasn’t had any fun since the great Armenian bloodletting, I suppose they need to squeeze off another one just to get it out of their system.
Edrogan’s Turkey is a very democratic country that strictly follows the rule of law. If you believe that, you’re probably a Trump voter.
I agree that it is highly unlikely Gulen will be extradited… because Turkey will fail to present any actual evidence of his involvement in the failed coup.
Well , if Erdogone keeps this up , there won`t be any workers to keep him in the lifestyle he likes . /s
And this is one of the key countries for keeping things even mildly under control in the middle east. Whee.
The post-coup behavior of Sultan Erdogan’s loyalists is probably just making folks there wish that that coup had succeeded? With Erdogan doubling down on making his government purely Islamic, the U.S. needs to remove those 50 nuclear weapons from Incirlik airbase. It will be interesting to see if Erdogan doubles down on his support for Hamas and the Urghurs and the Chechens…as well as ISIS and Al Qaeda.
Purge of thousands and re-instituting death penalty?
Does this remind anyone else of Stalin’s Great Purge of 1936?
