Istanbul:
Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim on Wednesday congratulated Donald Trump on his victory in the US presidential election, saying it was an opportunity to further bilateral relations.
In a speech in the capital Ankara, PM Yildirim said a "new page" would be opened in US-Turkey relations if Washington extradited the US-based cleric Turkey blames for orchestrating the July 15 failed coup.
"An area of opportunity has been created for the new president to advance relations with policies taking into account Turkey's fight against terror," Yildirim said.
