TEHRAN, April 10 - Just days after Kosovo’s parliament voted to investigate the renditions of six Turkish nationals by Turkish agents, Turkey’s president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, has vowed to pursue a global manhunt for alleged foot soldiers of Fethullah Gulen, the Pennsylvania-based cleric whom Erdogan's government blames for the failed July 2016 coup attempt.

“We will chase them no matter where they flee,” he assured members of his ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP).

Erdogan reminded his audience about the recent operation in Kosovo, in which teachers affiliated with Gulen-run schools and a medical doctor linked to the Gulenist movement were extracted by members of Turkey’s national spy agency, MIT, and flown to Turkey in a private jet.

“As you know, we captured six senior members of FETO,” Erdogan boasted.
