Justice Minister Bekir Bozdağ said on June 6 that U.S.-based Islamic preacher Fethullah Gülen’s denaturalization process did not pose an obstacle for his extradition to Turkey.
His remarks came one day after the Interior Ministry issued a notice for 130 people abroad, who are being investigated on terror charges and crimes against the constitutional order, to be denaturalized unless they return and apply to the relevant institutions in Turkey within a three-month period.
Gülen, who lives in Pennsylvania, is accused of masterminding the failed July 2016 coup attempt and is in 91st place in the list.
