2 Turkish ex-generals seeking asylum in Germany : Report

Two former Turkish generals suspected of involvement in last year’s coup attempt have applied for asylum in Germany, local media reported on Wednesday.


A total of five Turkish citizens, among them two high-ranking former soldiers, applied for asylum upon their arrival at Frankfurt International Airport on Friday, mass-circulation daily Bild reported.

They travelled from Greece to Germany, according to the paper.

At a press conference, German Foreign Ministry spokesman Martin Schaefer declined to comment on the reports, but reiterated that the government has no political influence on the assessment of asylum applications.

“Decisions are taken by the relevant immigration authority, and if required by the independent courts,” he added.
