By -
The relations of Turkey and the United States were not in a very good state before the recently failed coup attempts that almost crumbled the state of the Turkish nation on July 15, 2016. However, ever since that incident, the relationship ties between both nation sealed up for the worse as accusing fingers pointedly indicates the hands of the US government in the said upsurge. In the wake of all this animosity, and in a quick bid to once again cements what many believed is a step to assuring better diplomatic ties, US vice president, Joe Biden in a visit Wednesday to the Turkish nation reassures the government that the United States will do everything possible to helping the government mostly especially in her calls to seeing that the Turkish prime suspect Fethullah Gulen who is prime to have instigated the said coup is extradited from his United States hideout.

According to the US Vice President, who spoke to the press shortly after her meeting with the Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim at the country's capital in Ankara Wednesday, the US Vice assured her NATO ally that the United States will provide any assistance the Turkish government needs as it moves to strengthen her democracy and that the United States puts paramount importance on its relationship with Turkey.

Also, President Erdogan again called on the United States to extradite Turkish cleric Fetullah Gulen, who is supposedly blamed for his prime role in the attempted failed coup that killed over 300 persons with over 30,000 persons been placed under serious security surveillance and police detention. The US State Department said Tuesday that it has formally received an extradition call for the 75-year old Gulen, whose movement group in Turkey has been officially declared as a terror group by the Erdogan's administration.

 Biden who is president Obama highest -ranking and closest surrogate, often representing the White House in difficult diplomatic situations, his well known for cordial friendliness with world leaders, including president Erdogan, whom he calls "an old friend".

Subsequently, Biden and Erdogan also set the ball rolling as they discuss their joint efforts to combating the dreaded Islamic State Terrorists group. Turkey has the second largest military force in NATO and is also part of the US-led coalition to combat the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria. Turkey has been a major target in recent times as the terror group has found the nation as a soft target for its activities.
