Rory B. Bellows : 1/16/2019 1:10 pm
This is getting weird + Turkoglu advisor to Erdogan

Quote:
(CNN)Turkey has put in an extradition request and requested an Interpol red notice for the arrest of NBA star Enes Kanter, according to Anadolu, a Turkish state news agency.

The news agency report says New York Knicks center Kanter is suspected of being part of a terror organization. According to a Turkish official with knowledge of the request, it is the first time Turkey issued an extradition or red notice request for the NBA player.

Hedo Turkoglu is a chief advisor to Erdogan and trashes Kanter in response.

All kidding aside, managing the relationship with an increasingly repressive Turkey as it courts hostile powers despite our nominal alliance, it may be the most pressing foreign policy question of our time.
Any good point guards over there?

Fuck Turkoglu and Erdogan. They can both die in a fire.
I know the Knicks are bad but

calling them a terror organization seems a bit much.

not trying to ruin this thread but I just read the (yes, it's not the most reliable source ever) but wikipedia page on the guy Kanter is accused of "working with" and it the guy sounds like a standup/great person. Far from a terrorist. I realize I'm speaking as someone who doesn't know a ton about Turkish politics.

Kanter has been accused of terrorist ties because of his relationship with a man named Fethullah Gulen who is a "spiritual" leader to millions of people from Turkey. Gulen fled Turkey and lives in Pennsylvania.

Yep and Erdogan claims that Gulen orchestrated the coup attempt. When he asked the US to extradite him, they asked for evidence which they had nothing of note.

certainly supports Kanter's concerns a week or two back about traveling with the team overseas.
