WHEN YOU STRIKE AT A KING… Turkey Coup Supporters Arrested in Greece After Landing in Helicopter.

The helicopter landed after sending a distress signal. All eight people were arrested by Greek police as soon as it touched down on charges of illegal entry into the country and transferred to the local police station, according to local officials.

The eight coup supporters have all requested political asylum in Greece and these requests are being processed, although Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu has asked Greece to extradite those on the helicopter seeking asylum.

Olga Gerovasili, a spokeswoman for the Greek government, told state TV that international law procedures are going to be followed.

“It will be taken into consideration that in their country they are accused of attempting to overturn the constitutional democracy and violate legality,” Mrs. Gerovasili said.
