US has become 'safe haven' for members of terror group behind 2016 coup bid, says Turkish Foreign Ministry
Turkish Foreign Ministry Spokesman Hami Aksoy says Turkey's repeated requests for extradition of FETO members in US have fallen on deaf ears.
His comments came a day after a Turkish court sentenced Metin Topaz, a US consulate employee, to eight years and nine months in prison on charges of helping Fetullah Terrorist Organisation . "Also, Arif Yalcin, who was expelled from the Turkish Military Academy after the July 15 coup attempt and started to work in the US embassy in October 2018, was arrested due to his links with FETO/PDY and transferred to the Silivri Prison."
