Turkey lacks proof for Gulen extradition: lawyer
A lawyer for US-based preacher Fethullah Gulen said Friday that Turkey had no proof he was involved in last month's failed coup attempt and would not succeed in its bid for his extradition. "We haven't seen any evidence, direct or indirect... a scintilla of evidence, electronic or otherwise, implicating Mr Gulen," attorney Reid Weingarten told reporters in Washington. Turkey has accused Gulen of masterminding the thwarted July 15 military coup to overthrow President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, and has asked the United States to extradite him.
