The Greek Asylum Commission on Tuesday accepted the petition of a second Turkish military officer suspected of involvement in the controversial coup attempt on July 15, 2016, according to a Greek official who spoke on condition of anonymity.
According to a report by Turkey’s state-run Anadolu news agency, the military officer’s name is unknown, and he could be released from the police station he has been kept in.
The commission last December accepted the petition of another Turkish military officer, Süleyman Özkaynakçı, but later the Greek government raised objections. Özkaynakçı was released briefly after being granted asylum but was re-arrested again in the light of the government’s objections.
Ruling on the objection, the Greek Council of State on April 19 ordered his release under strict control until the results of the asylum petitions of all asylum seeking eight Turkish military personnel are resolved. The council is expected to issue final verdicts on the asylum requests of all the eight Turkish soldiers.
Under Greek law, the maximum detention period is 18 months, which will expire at the end of May for the all the suspects. The eight former Turkish military officers fled to Greece a day after the Turkish coup bid in 2016.
