The Greek defence Ministry has upped its state of readiness to orange, in an effort to avert a second ‘landing’ of Turkish servicemen believed to be involved in the failed military coup of last Friday. Greek military hardware and personnel have been deployed across the Aegean Sea and over the aerial space to monitor any suspicious movements. Two AH-64 apache helicopters on each of the island of Kos, Leros, Rhodes, two Super Pumas, a special commando unit and a large number of navy ships are all on alert scouring the seas and skies to prevent the arrival of more Turkish servicemen wanting to cross into Greece, like the eight defectors who asked for political asylum on Saturday after landing in the northern city of Alexandroupolis. As protothema.gr is in the position to know, six military Apache helicopters were deployed to the islands of Leros (2), Kos (2) and two more on Rhodes. The Defence Ministry has not confirmed these movements, but the military hardware has been re-stationed to the Dodecanese. Protothema.gr revealed that Turkish military helicopters were flying over international waters in the Aegean, near the Greek island of Symi, close to the Turkish west coast all night Wednesday looking for the commando unit that had tried to kill President Erdogan at his resort in Marmaris. Information that two dinghies were headed from Turkey to the island of Symi resulted in a red alert on the Greek side.
