Turkish authorities have formally requested that Greece extradites the eight Turkish officers who are accused of participating in the recent failed coup against President Erdogan.
The prosecutor in Istanbul informed the Ministry of Justice, which in turn has passed on the formal request to the Greek Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
