Photo: DPATurkey has asked the German authorities to formally investigate reported sightings in Germany of a top suspect in last year's failed coup who still remains at large. Turkey has pressed Washington - so far without success - to extradite Gulen from his Pennsylvania compound to face trial in Turkey. Oksuz was detained in Turkey after the coup was quashed, but was subsequently released and is now on the run. The note asks that the German authorities investigate the reported sightings of the coup suspect, the state-run Anadolu news agency said. If the presence of Oksuz in Germany is confirmed, it would add yet another bone of contention in increasingly troubled relations between Ankara and Berlin.
