Greece patrols for Turkey coup fugitives

None

State-run television in Greece says security checks have been heightened on the island of Symi following reports in the Turkish news media that fugitives from Turkey's armed forces could try to reach the island in the wake of last week's coup attempt.

 

Citing Greek military sources, ERT reported late Wednesday that police patrols had been increased on the island in the east Aegean Sea, popular with Turkish day trippers. Coast guard patrols in the area were also increased, it said.

 

Government officials didn't immediately respond to requests to comment on the report.
