Baku-APA. Turkey’s foreign minister Friday denied media claims of the capture of two accused Fetullah Terrorist Organization (FETO) members, a former prosecutor and a college professor, APA reports quoting Anadolu Agency.
Speaking to reporters after a visit by his Iranian counterpart Mohammad Javad Zarif, Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu denied the claims, adding, "But for two days we have been receiving various tips."
Cavusoglu said all tips about the whereabouts of members of the violent terror cult, including former prosecutor Zekeriya Oz and Professor Adil Oksuz, are being "carefully" evaluated by Turkish authorities.
"We are in close contact with Georgian authorities," Cavusoglu said of the two fugitives, who were allegedly captured Friday in Georgia.
Oz, who was involved in a 2013 corruption investigation that targeted senior ministers, fled to Armenia via Georgia last August, shortly before a Turkish court issued an arrest warrant for him.
Oksuz, an assistant theology professor at the Black Sea province’s Sakarya University who is suspected of being one of the top coup-plotters, was found the night of the defeated coup at Ankara’s Akinci 4th Main Jet Base and released after a brief interrogation. Later a warrant was issued for his capture.
