Turkish PM presses US VP on Gulen extradition during talks in Washington


During talks in Washington, Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim pressed US Vice President Mike Pence on efforts to extradite Fetullah Gulen... the Pennsylvania-based cleric who Ankara says was behind the 2016 coup attempt.

The White House also said the "meeting would help to usher in a new chapter in US-Turkey relations."

IN: "While limited visa..."
OUT: "...at this point."
