The US State Department said last night that the assessments of Turkish officials that the US was involved in the attempted coup in Ankara in 2016 were “wholly false”.
A State Department statement, following accusations by the Turkish Interior Minister Süleyman Soylu that the United States was behind the attempted coup in 2016, said: “remarks and other unfounded and irresponsible claims of U.S. responsibility for events in Turkey are inconsistent.”
“These remarks and other unfounded and irresponsible claims of U.S. responsibility for events in Turkey are inconsistent with Turkey’s status as a NATO Ally and strategic partner of the United States,” Washington said in a statement.
