According to the Turkish authorities Abdullah Byuyk has close ties with Fethullah Gulen, accused by Turkey of organizing the attempted military coup in the country on 15 July. At a rally in Antalya some 10 days ago, Turkey’s Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu stated that he would send a delegation to Bulgaria to demand the extradition of an individual suspected of connections with Fethullah Gulen’s terrorist organization.
