Erdogan added that the Brotherhood was “divided and present in many different places, and I haven’t seen any armed activity from them. If I had, then my position towards them would be like my position towards any terrorist organisation.”
Erdogan was then asked if he would extradite the Brotherhood’s leadership from Turkey if another nation considered them terrorists like how Turkey is demanding the US to extradite Fethullah Gulen, leader of the Hizmet Movement that Ankara accuses of orchestrating the failed coup attempt last July.
Erdogan said: “Every now and then we get these requests, but we always ask [those who make the request] this – Are they [the Brotherhood] an armed terrorist group? Have the ones whom you are requesting extradition of responsible for terrorist or militant acts?”
