Well, well well. Look who's living right down the road from me.
I thought it was kind of strange that when I was listening to the English translation of President Erdogan speaking the other night,
I kept hearing the word Pennsylvania.
Turkey’s president wants US to extradite exiled Poconos cleric.

Ankara’s Public Enemy No. 1 is a reclusive 75-year-old imam from the Poconos — and Turkey’s president is demanding the United States hand him over immediately.

President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is blaming the nation’s bloody coup attempt on Fethullah Gülen, a dissident cleric living in exile in a small community 70 miles from New York City.

Gülen, a former ally who left Turkey in 1999, orchestrated Friday night’s uprising from his compound in Saylorsburg, Pa., Erdogan alleged Saturday.

The Turkish leader’s demand that Gülen be promptly extradited threatens to create a rift between the United States and Turkey at a key time during the international offensive against ISIS.
The big star in the middle is Saylorsburg where Gülen lives.
The smaller red star is approximately where I live.
Maybe the next time I'm in Stroudsburg I'll drop in and say hi to the Imam.
