Explanatory note

Turkey-Greece bilateral Readmission Protocol is part of a security agreement between Turkey and Greece. The Protocol may be applied by us if the Greek side fulfills its obligations to combat terrorism between our countries. However, it is known that Greece grants asylum to members of Fettullah Gulen Terrorist Organisation which threatens the security of Turkey.
