Turkey sends file to Greece on returning 8 soldiers who fled during July 15 defeated coup

Turkey has demanded the extradition of eight soldiers who fled to Greece in a helicopter during the July 15 defeated coup, judicial sources said Tuesday.



A file prepared by the Justice Ministry was sent to Greece Tuesday through the Foreign Ministry, the judicial sources said on condition of anonymity due to restrictions on speaking to the media.



The Justice Ministry's Directorate-General for Law and External Relations prepared the file under an extradition agreement between Turkey and Greece.
