Greek Supreme Court delays Turkey coup suspect ruling

Greece's Supreme Court on Jan. 23 postponed an expected ruling on whether to extradite eight Turkish soldiers sought by Ankara over the July 2016 failed coup attempt.


A justice source said the decision will be announced on Jan. 26 as one of the presiding judges fell ill.

The case involves eight Turkish military officers who landed a helicopter in the northern Greek city of Alexandroupolis in July, 2016 following the attempted takeover.
