A Greek supreme court prosecutor on Jan. 11 argued against extraditing two Turkish officers over July's failed coup, in the second of three such hearings this week.

The Supreme Court is next week set to rule on a set of appeals against deportation by eight Turkish officers who sought asylum in Greece after July's failed coup in Turkey.

Last week, lawyers representing the Turkish officers asked for the appeals to be heard jointly, a request that was rejected by Supreme Court prosecutor Xeni Dimitriou.
