Chuỗi hoàn cảnh dẫn đến hiện trạng mâu thuẫn giữa Mỹ và Turkey ngày nay :

Vài ngày sau khi Mỹ đặt phi đoàn F-15 tại căn cứ Incirlik, Turkey. F16 của Không quân Turkey bắn trộm Su-24 (không có bảo vệ) của Nga tại vùng biên giới Syria .

Nga trừng phạt Turkey bằng cấm vận, đặt S-400 tại Syria, kiểm soát không phận Syria , cấm chiến cơ Turkey bay sang quậy phá, tăng cường Su-30 để bảo vệ Su-24

Sau 1 năm chịu đòn cấm vận, Turkey xuống nước làm lành, tỏ ý ân hận với Nga, mong nối lại quan hệ. Nga chấp nhận làm lành của Turkey, nhưng bình thuờng hóa quan hệ, theo ý Nga, phải theo tiến trình từng bước giải quyết (như vậy Mỹ thấy rõ Turkey đang ngả sang Nga ! )

Đảo chính hụt tại Turkey, ngày 15/7/2016, do quân đội và cảnh sát cấp thấp, không có tướng lĩnh cấp cao can dự. (Ai đứng đàng sau đám loi nhoi này ? Không có chủ "xuỵt" chó, thì chó nào dám sủa bậy ?)

Turkey cáo buộc ngòi nổ đảo chính là Fethullah Gulen, một giáo sĩ người Turk, đang sống tại Mỹ hơn 15 năm nay.

Ông này thân Mỹ, thường xuyên chỉ trích Turkey, kêu gọi "dân chủ hóa" Turkey; ông có tín đồ tại Turkey. Họ có hệ thống 150 trường học độc lập (charter schools) ở Turkey.

Khi đảo chính nổ ra, ông Gullen lại chỉ trích đích danh TT Erdogan của Turkey, đòi tự do cho các phong trào, các nhóm dân sự độc lập đối kháng !

Chính quyền Turkey cáo buộc ông Gullen chủ mưu đảo chính, họ đòi Mỹ tống xuất ông Gullen về Turkey để chịu xử án, và hứa sẽ giao văn bản chính thức, yêu cầu chính quyền Mỹ, với đầy đủ chi tiết chứng minh sự can dự của ông Gullen vào những hoạt động bất hợp pháp tại Turkey.

Chính quyền Mỹ cho rằng những cáo buộc của Turkey là sai .

Turkey có thể đóng cửa dài hạn căn cứ Incirlik, không cho Không quân Mỹ hoạt động tại đấy, nếu Mỹ không chịu tống xuất ông Gullen về Turkey.

Gulen là một giáo sĩ đạo Hồi đang định cư tại Mỹ, thân Mỹ, dựa vào dung dưỡng của Mỹ để tổ chức mạng lưới chống phá chế độ Turkey qua tuyên truyền của các tổ chức dân sự đòi tự do chống đối.

US-Turkish tensions rise after failed coup attempt

By Bradley Klapper | AP July 16 at 9:08 PM

LUXEMBOURG — U.S.-Turkish tensions escalated Saturday after a quashed coup in Turkey, as the country’s leader bluntly demanded the extradition of a U.S.-based cleric he accused of orchestrating the violence. Another senior official directly blamed the United States.

After strongly supporting Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan when it seemed his government might topple and then opening the door to sending home the cleric, a stung Obama administration fired back at its NATO ally.

“Public insinuations or claims about any role by the United States in the failed coup attempt are utterly false and harmful to our bilateral relations,” U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry told his Turkish counterpart, according to the State Department’s readout of their telephone call.

The back-and-forth occurred against the backdrop of Turkey closing its airspace, effectively grounding U.S. warplanes that had been targeting Islamic State forces in neighboring Syria and Iraq.

At the center of the controversy stood Fethullah Gulen, who lives in exile in Pennsylvania and promotes a philosophy that blends a mystical form of Islam with staunch advocacy of democracy, education, science and interfaith dialogue.

Gulen quickly condemned Friday night’s coup attempt by military officers that resulted in a night of explosions, air battles and gunfire that left dozens dead. Erdogan’s government said Gulen directed the coup all the same.

In a televised speech Saturday, Erdogan said Turkey had never rejected a U.S. extradition request for “terrorists.” Addressing Washington, he requested the handover of Gulen and said, “If we are strategic partners, then you should bring about our request.”

Although he didn’t outline any threat, Erdogan’s emphasis on U.S.-Turkish counterterrorism cooperation raised the prospect of a prolonged closure of the Incirlik air base in southern Turkey if he didn’t get his way. The Pentagon said it was trying to get permission to resume air operations from the base, while adjusting mission operations in the meantime.

Suleyman Soylu, Turkey’s labor minister, went further than Erdogan, suggesting the U.S. was behind the coup.

In their second call in as many days, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavosoglu told Kerry the government was in control of state institutions.

Kerry reiterated U.S. support for Turkey’s democratically elected government, according to the State Department readout, and urged authorities to respect the rule of law and safeguard civilian life as they respond to the coup attempt. Kerry also said Turkey needed to respect due process as it investigates those it believes were involved in the plot.

Earlier, on a visit to Luxembourg, Kerry told reporters the U.S. would entertain an extradition request for Gulen if the Turks provided evidence of wrongdoing. Erdogan has long accused Gulen, a former ally, of trying to overthrow the government,but Washington has never found the claims compelling.

“We fully anticipate that there will be questions raised about Mr. Gulen,” Kerry told reporters. “And obviously we would invite the government of Turkey, as we always do, to present us with any legitimate evidence that withstands scrutiny. And the United States will accept that and look at it and make judgments about it appropriately.”

Gulen is understood to maintain significant support among some members of the military and mid-level bureaucrats. His movement called Hizmet includes think tanks, schools and various media enterprises. Gulen and Erdogan only became estranged in recent years.

A Turkish official, speaking on condition of anonymity in line with government regulations, said Turkey was preparing a formal extradition request with detailed information about Gulen’s involvement in illegal activities. He said the coup attempt was seen as “one more thing to add to an already extensive list.”

In a statement, Gulen said he condemned, “in the strongest terms, the attempted military coup in Turkey” and sharply rejected any responsibility or knowledge of who might be involved.

At a news briefing Saturday in Saylorsburg, Pennsylvania, the cleric noted that he has been away from Turkey for more than 15 years and would not have returned if the coup had succeeded. He cited greater freedoms in the United States as a reason.

“In brief, I don’t even know who my followers are,” the frail-looking cleric said through an interpreter. “You can think about many motivations of people who staged this coup.”

The coup failed after appearing not to have been backed by the most senior ranks of the military. Turkey’s main opposition parties, too, condemned the attempted overthrow of the government. Prime Minister Benali Yildirim said 161 people were killed and 1,440 wounded in the overnight violence. He said 2,839 plotters were detained.

Kerry said the U.S. had no indication beforehand of the coup attempt, which began as he and Russia’s foreign minister were in a Russian government villa in Moscow, locked in negotiations over Syria.

“If you’re planning a coup, you don’t exactly advertise to your partners in NATO,” Kerry said. “So it surprised everyone. It does not appear to be a very brilliantly planned or executed event.”
