Turkey Coup Supporters Arrested in Greece After Landing in Helicopter

Source: WSJ

ATHENS—A Turkish military helicopter carrying eight supporters of the coup against President Recep Tayyip Erdogan landed in the Greek city of Alexandroupolis at noon local time on Saturday, several Greek officials said.

“They are military officers up to the level of major,” a senior Greek official said.

The helicopter landed after sending a distress signal. All eight people were arrested by Greek police as soon as it touched down on charges of illegal entry into the country and transferred to the local police station, according to local officials.

The eight coup supporters have all requested political asylum in Greece and these requests are being processed, although Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu has asked Greece to extradite those on the helicopter seeking asylum.

No one gets to publish text and then claim it can't be quoted within fair-use bounds. It's omnipotence fantasy.

On edit:

It apparently takes someone who just joined DU to tell us things many of us didn't know. Have seen WSJ articles, and posted them, myself, many, many times.

Very often they use wire service information, and their articles do appear elsewhere, as we know.

Enjoy your visit.
