Turkey demands Greece hands over asylum officers
Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu says Turkey has demanded the extradition of officers who went to Greece, NTV television reports.
Greece`s defense ministry says seven military personnel and one civilian have landed there in a Blackhawk military helicopter and asked for asylum. They were arrested for illegal entry.

Turkey`s state-run Anadolu Agency quotes Cavusoglu as saying that "we have demanded the immediate return of the eight treacherous officers who fled to Greece by helicopter."
