Washington not involved in Turkey coup attempt: US ambassador

‘The American ambassador to Turkey has said Washington was not involved in last month’s failed military coup attempt against the government of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
John Bass made the remarks in an interview with the English daily Hurriyet Daily News on Saturday, in an effort to dismiss persistent accusations by some Turkish officials that the US government played a role in the July 15 incident.
“I just want to say again, as I’ve said before and as we’ve said from Washington, the United States government did not plan, direct, support or have any advance knowledge of any of the illegal activities that occurred the night of July 15 and into July 16. Full stop,” Bass said.’
