Скачать или смотреть Knicks Center Enes Kanter Speaks Out on Turkey’s International Warrant | News 4 Now

New York Knicks player Enes Kanter is defiantly speaking out against the president in his native Turkey, despite Turkish prosecutors' attempts to seek an international arrest warrant against him.

"Leave the innocent people alone," he said in a message to the Turkish government during an interview with News 4 New York on Wednesday. "It doesn't matter what you do, I will continue to talk about this. This is way bigger than everything. This is way bigger than me."

Turkish prosecutors are accusing Kanter of membership in a terror organization. Sabah newspaper says the Istanbul chief prosecutor's office had also prepared an extradition request for the NBA player. Officials at the prosecutor's office could not be reached by The Associated Press for comment.

Kanter, who didn't go with the Knicks this week for their game in London because he feared he could be killed over his opposition to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, responded on Twitter that the Turkish government could not present "any single piece of evidence of my wrongdoing."

Anchor Stefan Holt also reports Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand’s presidential bid, the death of an NYPD officer and an arrest in a deadly hammer attack.
