Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has once more blasted unnamed Western countries for what he said was support for the attempted coup on July 15 which left more than 270 people dead.
"The West is supporting terrorism and taking sides with coups," Erdogan said.
Speaking at an event for foreign investors in Ankara, Erdogan singled out Germany for criticism, after a German court ruled against allowing him to appear on a video link to address a crowd of about 30,000 supporters and anti-coup demonstrators Cologne over the weekend.
Turkey had sent Germany more than 4000 files on what he said were wanted terrorists, but Germany did nothing, Erdogan said. However, he said, courts quickly decided against him speaking at the rally.
Erdogan repeated a complaint that no foreign leader had visited Turkey after the failed coup, while France and Belgium received visits in solidarity after terror attacks there.
"Those we considered friends are siding with coup-plotters and terrorists," the president said.
The government says the coup was instigated by US-based Muslim cleric Fethullah Gulen, a former Erdogan ally who has been living in self-imposed exile in Pennsylvania. Turkey has demanded his extradition, but Washington has asked for evidence of the cleric's involvement, saying the extradition process must take its course.
Erdogan complained about the request for evidence, saying: "We did not request documents for terrorists that you wanted returned."
Justice Minister Bekir Bozdag sent a second document to the United States Tuesday seeking Gulen's arrest, the state-run Anadolu news agency said. The minister said the second letter explained why there was an urgent need for the arrest.
The government has launched a sweeping crackdown on Gulen's movement, which it characterises as a terrorist organisation and which runs schools, charities and businesses internationally. In Turkey, nearly 70,000 people have been suspended from their jobs on suspicion of being involved in the movement.
Part of the crackdown against Gulen's network has focused on reforming the military, bringing it increasingly under civilian command. About 18,000 people have been detained or arrested, most of them from the military, and authorities have said the purge of those suspected of links to Gulen in the military will continue.
Prime Minister Binali Yildirim announced plans to shut down two military high courts - the administrative and appeals courts - and said military courts, which deal with disciplinary issues, would be placed under the Defence Ministry's supervision.
The government has already issued a decree introducing sweeping changes to the military, including giving the president and prime minister the power to issue direct orders to the force commanders.
