QA-26, 9 April 2019, Statement of the Spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Mr. Hami Aksoy, in Response to a Question Regarding the Negative Outcome of the FETÖ Members' Extradition Process from the UK

Republic Of Türkiye Ministry Of Foreign Affairs 10.04.2019

We were disappointed by the decision of the Supreme Court today (April 9 th), rejecting our request for a renewed appeal against the decision of the London Westminster Court of Appeals regarding the refusal of extradition of Hamdi Akın İpek, Ali Çelik, Talip Büyük and Mustafa Yeşil, members of FETO terrorist organization, from the United Kingdom to our country.

Our expectation and efforts towards the extradition of FETÖ members who are behind the July 15 treacherous coup attempt, claiming the life of 251 innocent citizens and wounding thousands, will continue. It should not be forgotten that this terrorist organization is a threat not only for Turkey, but for each country where it operates, and that international cooperation is of great importance in the fight against terrorism.
