A life sentence as we have to remind our viewers that the turkish government says one of these 2 people would evolve in the coup but the mastermind is the cleric for good and who lives in selfimposed exile in the United States of america and since 999 and which the turkish government has been repeatedly asking for him to be extradited him to turkey so what message then does this verdict send within tekkie on there and also outside of turkey.
