Greek judge blocks extradition Turks

A court in Greece rejected a request for extradition of Turkey for three soldiers on Wednesday.

Ankara has requested extradition of eight soldiers. According to Turkey, they were involved in attempting a coup. In two cases the court has to make a ruling. Last week, the extradition of three other soldiers was stopped.

It is the second time Turkey asks for extradition of the eight soldiers. In January, a court rejected the first request.
