TURKEY requested on Tuesday that interpol issue a Red Notice on Turkish NBA star Enes Kanter, accusing him of being part of a terrorist organisation.
Kanter refused to travel with the Knicks for tomorrow’s game at the O2 Arena against the Washington Wizard as he feared he would be assassinated for his opposition to authoritarian Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
Kanter has been accused of having a close relationship with exiled US-based Islamist Turkish cleric Fethullah Gulen, a standard tactic Erdogan uses against any high-profile figure in opposition of him.
