Turkey has demanded the extradition of 62 entrepreneurs associated with Fethullah Gulen's movement from Germany, the newspaper Haber7 reported.
The businessmen, whom Ankara has urged to extradite, are accused of financing the Gulen movement. Earlier, the Istanbul court ordered the arrest of Fethullah Gülen. He is accused of attempting a military coup in Turkey.
On the evening of July 15, the Turkish authorities announced that a military coup attempt had taken place in the country. At the same time, a group of servicemen announced the transfer of power to them. However, the coup attempt failed.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said the death toll in the coup attempt was 246, excluding the coup, and more than 2,000 were injured. Erdogan declared a three-month state of emergency in Turkey on July 20.
