MEPs to debate Turkey’s detention of two Greek soldiers
Met dank overgenomen van Europees Parlement (EP) i, gepubliceerd op woensdag 18 april 2018.
MEPs will discuss on Tuesday late afternoon the violation of human rights and the rule of law in the case of two Greek soldiers arrested and detained in Turkey.
They will quiz Commissioner Stylianides on the steps to be taken to release the two soldiers detained since 2 March for illegally crossing the border.
The two Greek soldiers were arrested in the border region of Edirne and have been detained since then. The soldiers have said that adverse weather conditions on the day of their arrest disorientated them near the Greek-Turkish border, leading them to cross the Turkish borders without realising.
