On August 7, the Turkish foreign ministry asked the Greek foreign ministry to cancel the accreditation of the two attachés. The Greek side fulfilled the request the same day.
The attachés had been invited to an event at the Salamis Naval Base on July 29, but they had not shown up at the event.
Greek media says the attachés have fled for fear of possible charges of having links with the masterminds of the recent coup attempt in Turkey.
The newspaper “Elefteros Tipos” writes that they have fled to Italy.
