Turkish Prime Minister, Binali Yildirim, on Saturday said any country
 that stood by Muslim cleric, Fethullah Gulen, would not be a friend of 
Turkey.
He said that such country would be considered at war with Turkey, a North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) member.
The
 government said that followers of Gulen, who had been living in 
self-imposed exile in the U.S. for years, were behind the attempted coup
 by a faction of the military on Friday.
    It also accused him of using military as a way to overthrow the state, a charge the cleric has denied.
