No single FETÖ member extradited by Western allies

Türkiye's allies, including the United States and European powers, have not extradited a single FETÖ member out of a total of 633 requests for extradition since the July 15 failed coup attempt, according to the data by the Justice Ministry.

The ministry demanded the extradition of 227 FETÖ members, including Fethullah Gülen, from the U.S. and 406 members from the EU member states, the ministry informed, stressing that these countries argued "there was not sufficient evidence for the extradition of these people."

The data by the ministry has revealed that Türkiye prepared 1,133 dossiers for the extradition of FETÖ members from 110 countries over the past six years after Türkiye narrowly escaped a coup at the hands of the FETÖ members.

Many FETÖ members, including senior military officials and other civilian officials, who directly took part in the coup attempt escaped from the country mainly to the EU nations after the coup was thwarted. Some 251 persons were killed during the coup attempt in which the land and air forces of the Turkish Armed Forces were used by the FETÖ members.

One of the top destinations for the extradition campaign was the U.S. as the leader of the FETÖ terror organization, Fethullah Gülen was residing in this country since the late 1990s. Along with Gülen, the top members of the FETÖ are also residing and running the FETÖ's different operations from this country.

The second target was Europe as many FETÖ members fled to the EU countries following the coup attempt in 2016. Türkiye sought the extradition of 129 people from Germany, 97 people from Greece, 52 from Belgium, 33 from the Netherlands and 31 from the United Kingdom. But there were no positive responses from these countries to Türkiye's extradition...
