Turkish Justice Minister Abdulhamit Gul said on Tuesday he will tell his U.S. counterpart that the New York trial of a Turkish banker, charged with helping Iran evade U.S. sanctions, is not legal and should be ended.

(reuters) -- Gul told Turkish broadcaster 24 TV in an interview that it would be impossible to accept a verdict contrary to Turkey's interests in the case, which has strained ties between the NATO allies.
