Turkish FM demands Greece to extradite Turkish soldiers

YEREVAN, JULY 22, ARMENPRESS. Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu urged the Greek authorities to extradite the Turkish soldiers to Turkey who entered the territory of Greece through a helicopter after the failed military coup attempt in Turkey, Anadolu reports.

“The initiators of the coup attempt require a political asylum. However, the political asylum is not enough for them. We expect from the Greek authorities a cooperation and a return of these traitors to Turkey in a fair way”, the Turkish FM said.

A Greek court on July 21 sentenced 8 Turkish military personnel who fled to Greece aboard a helicopter during an attempted coup in their country to two months in prison on charges of illegal entry into Greece.

On July 15 a group of rebels initiated a military coup attempt in Turkey. They took under their control several strategic objects in Ankara and Istanbul, but after few hours the rebellion has been suppressed.

According to the recent information provided by Erdogan, 246 pro-governmental people were killed, 2185 are wounded, 10410 have been arrested, 4060 are imprisoned from which 103 are generals.

More than 100 coup attempt participants were killed.

The Turkish leadership believes Muslim cleric Fethullah Gulen, the founder of the Hizmet movement, is behind the failed military coup attempt.
