 "Turkish PM Binali Yildirim says US should 'speed up' Fethullah Gulen's extradition")
Turkey's prime minister says his government wants the US to speed up procedures for the extradition of US-based Muslim cleric Fethullah Gulen, whom Turkey accuses of orchestrating last month's violent coup attempt.
Prime Minister Binali Yildirim told foreign media representatives today that Turkey and the United States have an extradition agreement and the process should not be delayed.
He says "we want the process to be accelerated ... This man was the leader of the coup. What are we waiting for? The agreement between the two countries is clear."
The cleric has denied involvement in the July 15 coup that killed more than 270 people.
