Turkey requests extradition 414 coup suspects

Turkey has requested the extradition of 414 suspects allegedly involved in the 2016 failed coup attempt, according to reports.

The request was made to the United States, Germany, and other countries where the suspects are believed to be hiding, Turkish officials said.

The 2016 coup attempt was led by a group of military officers who sought to overthrow President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's government. The attempt was put down, but not before it resulted in the deaths of over 250 people and injured thousands more.

Turkey has accused many of the suspects of being members of the Gulen movement, a religious and social movement led by Fethullah Gulen, a Turkish cleric who lives in exile in the United States. Gulen has denied any involvement in the coup attempt.

Turkey has been seeking the extradition of Gulen and many of his followers, but the US has been reluctant to comply, citing concerns about the rule of law and human rights in Turkey.

The Turkish government has accused the US of harboring Gulen and his followers, and has threatened to take action against American citizens and interests in Turkey if the US does not extradite them.

The extradition request is the latest development in a long-standing dispute between Turkey and the US over the coup attempt and the subsequent crackdown on alleged Gulenists in Turkey.

The dispute has strained relations between the two countries, with Turkey imposing sanctions on the US and the US imposing sanctions on Turkey in response.

The extradition request is also seen as a test of the US-Turkey relationship, with many analysts saying that if the US does not comply with Turkey's request, it could lead to further deterioration in relations between the two countries.
