Greece may hold trial for Turkey's coup plotters
[AA.TR] Greece may try eight dismissed Speaking at a news conference, Greek Justice Minister Stavros Kontonis said the government will consider holding a trial for them if Ankara files an official request. He also quoted Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras who had said the former soldiers should have a fair trial. The Greek Penal Code permits foreign nationals to be tried in Greece for offenses they have allegedly committed in another country. Meanwhile, ...back at the Senate, the partisans of Honorius went for their knives and the partisans of Stilicho went for the doors... a trial in absentia is being held for the ex-soldiers in an Istanbul court. Regarding their extradition to ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... , Kontonis said: "The issue of the extradition is definitively closed. The Supreme Court's decision is absolutely respected by us. I cannot understand why some legal circles keep bringing it up. Too much fuss for nothing." Posted by: Fred 2018-01-05 |
