Greek prez rejects soldier swap:

Greek President Prokopis Pavlopoulos on Sunday rejected the suggestion of a swap deal involving two Greek soldiers jailed in Turkey in exchange for Turkish soldiers wanted by Ankara over the 2016 failed coup.

Pavlopoulos ruled out the potential swap after Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Saturday said his government would consider the Greek soldiers’ case if Athens extradited the Turkish soldiers.

“The exchange of the two Greek soldiers that are jailed with the eight Turkish soldiers that are in Greece is out of the question”, said Pavlopoulos.
