Earlier, Turkish presidential spokesman Ibrahim Kalin said that US President Donald Trump assured Recep Tayyip Erdogan that the US will take Islamic preacher Gulen's extraditon to Turkey serously.
Ankara considers the PYD and its armed wing, the People's Protection Units (YPG), to be affiliated with the Kurdistan Worker's Party (PKK), which is designated as a terrorist group in Turkey and the United States.
