Two Turkish generals allegedly participating in the 2016 coup attempt have requested asylum in the western German city of Frankfurt am Main, local media reported Wednesday.
The Bild magazine reported, citing own sources, that the Turkish servicemen filed applications for asylum in the airport of the German city on Monday evening.
Most recently, Ankara has expressed anger that Germany is granting asylum to Turks accused of participating in a failed coup in July.
The failed putsch prompted a purge of the Turkish military, judiciary and civil service. German officials have said more than 400 Turkish citizens with diplomatic passports and other government work permits had sought asylum in Germany since then.
