Istanbul: US Secretary of State John Kerry will visit Turkey on Aug 24, more than a month after a failed military coup shook the NATO member state, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said in an interview with broadcaster TGRT Haber today.
The attempted putsch, which President Tayyip Erdogan blames on US-based Turkish cleric Fethullah Gulen, has strained Ankara's relations with Washington. Erdogan has called for the extradition of Gulen, who denies involvement in the plot.
