Two Greek Army Officers

The two Greek officers were arbitrarily arrested, unjustly imprisoned, used in vain as a negotiating chip, and freed when they were no longer useful for the regime in Ankara.

Their unconditional release was ordered by a Turkish court, but there have been feverish diplomatic efforts in the last five-and-a-half months – with the EU, Nato, the US and other allies - by the Greek government to pressure Ankara for their release.
