Greece Suspends Asylum for Turkish 'Coup' Officer
2018-01-09
[AnNahar] A Greek court suspended Monday the asylum status granted to a Ottoman Turkish military helicopter co-pilot who fled the country following last year's failed coup, days after Ankara criticized the decision.

The Athens Administrative Court of Appeal said it had "temporarily suspended the asylum for reasons of public interest" following an appeal by the Greek government.

The co-pilot -- who flew seven other Ottoman Turkish military officers to Greece the day after the failed coup in July 2016 -- was granted asylum at the end of December after Greek authorities ruled that his human rights

 would be at risk.

The Ottoman Turkish Foreign Ministry complained at the time that the ruling was "politically motivated" and "once again reveals that Greece is a country that protects and embraces plotters."

The Greek government said it requested the status was suspended because it "endangered diplomatic relations" with The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...just another cheapjack Moslem dictatorship, brought to you by the Moslem Brüderbund....
The case is now scheduled for a hearing on February 15.

A ruling on the seven other military officers is due to be made in the coming weeks.

"This is an important decision, we welcome it with satisfaction," Ottoman Turkish government front man Bekir Bozdag said on Monday.

He added that the extradition of the "eight putschists" would have a positive impact on relations between the two countries.

However,
today is that tomorrow you were thinking about yesterday...
 the Greek government has repeatedly supported a ruling by the Greek Supreme Court last January which blocked the extradition of the group, saying that they would not have a fair trial in Turkey.
