Erdoğan describes Obama term as 'disillusion'

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan described the policies of United States President Barack Obama 'upsetting' by referring to the Syria policy of Washington and its relations with Turkey due to the disruption of the extradition of the leader of Fetullah Terrorist Organization (FETÖ), Fetullah Gülen.

Erdoğan's remarks came during his speech in an interview for 60 Minutes, which will be broadcasted on the American CBS channel on Monday.

Erdoğan said that the policies of Obama caused security issues for Turkey which is one of the parties which is being affected the most from the Syrian crisis amid the ongoing war.

The Turkish President also touched upon the Turkish people's opinion on the U.S., which hasn't extradited Gülen yet following the bloody coup bid of July 15 that targeted the democratically-elected Turkish government.

“I'm not going to blame the United States [for the coup]. But that's what my people will think. Why are you still keeping that man? So as long you harbor him there, I'm sorry, don't get offended. But this is the perception of the Turkish nation and the Turkish people," Erdoğan said.

“We have addressed these issues, discussed them with President Obama and Vice President Biden. They failed to rise to the occasion and handle these issues seriously. This is quite upsetting for us," says Erdoğan.

A violent coup bid was witnessed on July 15, mostly in Turkey's cities, when the terrorist group headed by Fetullah Gülen attempted to topple the democratically-elected government.

Turkey called for Gülen's extradition following the coup attempt, which left more than 240 people dead and more than 2,000 others injured,
