Greek parties unanimously hailed the ruling of the Supreme Court on Thursday to reject an extradition request issued by Turkey for eight army officers who fled to Greece after the failed coup attempt last July, saying the rule of law has been upheld. 

"It is a matter of honor and prestige for Greece to confirm that in a European country, in a European Rule of Law, the Justice decides unaffected and undistracted by any internal or external intervention attempt," main opposition New Democracy's shadow foreign policy minister George Koumoutsakos said on Tuesday.

It has been observed that some statements of H.E. Ambassador Kerim Uras regarding the extradition case of Turkish military personnel involved in the a failed terrorist coup attempt in Turkey at 19 July press briefing have been distorted in the reports of some media institutions, the Turkish embassy said in a statement.
