Turkey has vowed to bring the US-based cleric, Fethullah Gulen to justice for allegedly masterminding last month's failed military coup -- and demanded Washington respect Ankara's extradition request.

Turkish Justice Minister Bekir Bozdag says if the US does not hand Gulen over to Ankara, it will be sacrificing relations with Turkey for the sake of a terrorist.  Gulen denies Ankara's accusations and has publically spoken out against the military's failed attempt to unseat Turkish President, Recep Tayyip Erdogan. The US has asked Turkey to supply evidence of Gulen's guilt.
