The Greek Prime Minister’s Office commented the court’s decision about the eight Turkish officers the following way:

“The Greek government firmly condemned from the very first moment the attempted coup and supported the democratically elected government, and the constitutional legality in our neighbor.
We underline today, as then, that the perpetrators of the coup are not welcome in our country.
In any case, Greece respects the law, the constitution and the undeniable principle of separation of powers and fully respects for international law, including all international conventions that bind the country.
Within Greece the sole responsible for the relevant judgments is the independent Greek Justice system, whose decisions should be considered as granted that are binding”.
