Fugitive Turkish ex-soldier detained after asylum in Greece suspended

A Greek court on Jan. 8 suspended the asylum status granted to a former Turkish soldier, who is accused by the Turkish government of plotting the July 15, 2016 coup attempt along with seven others, and detained him, saying it will make a final decision on the fugitive on Feb. 15.


An appeals court in Athens upheld a request by the Greek government to suspend the decision made by an independent asylum council on Dec. 29.
