The Turkish court has reportedly rejected the fourth consecutive appeal for the release of Greek army officers Dimitros Kouklatzis and Aggelos Mitretodis who have been imprisoned in a maximum security prison since March 1 in the northwestern Turkish city of Adrianople.

The ongoing incarceration of the two Greek ofiicers in Turkey has not gone unnoticed by the German press.

“It is a matter which Greece and Turkey will have to solve exclusively between themselves”, NATO General Secretary Jens Stoltenberg said in an interview to Turkish news agency Anadolu, referring to the arrest and detainment of the two Greek officers by Turkey.
