Turkey wants German cops to nab and deport Syrian Kurdish politician Salih Muslim

TURKEY asked German authorities today to extradite Syrian Kurdish politician Salih Muslim, who Ankara accuses, like all Kurds, of being a terrorist.

Ankara wants German cops to arrest and deport Mr Muslim, the former co-chair of Syria’s Democratic Union Party (PYD).

He was spotted in Berlin at the weekend after being released from custody in the Czech Republic last week, having been briefly detained on a Turkish arrest warrant.
