Prime Minister Binali Yıldırım has denied Turkey's involvement in an alleged plan with former U.S security adviser Michael Flynn to kidnap U.S.-based Fetullah Gülen, the leader of Fetullah Terrorist Organization behind last year's coup attempt. In a televised interview with popular television host Fareed Zakaria on CNN international on Saturday evening, Yıldırım said Turkey was expecting the White House to extradite Gülen. He compared the defeated coup attempt in Turkey to the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks in New York, adding that Turkey was the first country to offer help and send its army to Afghanistan to fight the U.S. war on terror. "We didn't ask who was behind this. The United States said this is al-Qaeda behind of this attack and al-Qaeda is responsible. Nobody asked the United States is there any evidence that al-Qaeda did so," he said.
