The trial of eight Turkish servicemen who fled to Alexandroupoli following a failed coup on July 15, 2016 was discussed during a meeting in Athens on Tuesday between visiting Turkish Deputy Justice Minister Bilal Ucar and Justice Minister Stavros Kontonis.

Two academics and a teacher who were earlier dismissed from their jobs under a post-coup emergency degree were detained by a gendarmerie team in Saçlımüsellim village in Turkey’s border province of Edirne on Sunday.
