Greek prosecutor argues against extradition of Turkish soldiers

ATHENS, Jan 11 (Reuters) A Greek prosecutor argued today against the extradition of two Turkish soldiers who fled to Greece in July after a failed coup attempt in Turkey, in a case which has highlighted strained relations between Athens and Ankara.
The two men are among a group of eight soldiers who landed a helicopter in northern Greece on July 16 and sought political asylum saying they feared for their lives in Turkey.
Turkey has demanded Greece extradite all eight, alleging they were involved in the coup attempt and has branded them traitors. They all deny involvement in the attempt to oust President Tayyip Erdogan, which has led to a purge of the military and civil service.
