The Pyjamas coup was a failed coup d'etat attempt in February 1975 by far-right Greek Army officers sympathetic to the recently deposed Greek junta. The Greek government, swiftly alerted by Major Ioannis Alexakis, the Security Director of the Central Intelligence Service, arrested the conspirators and subsequently carried out a massive purge of die-hard junta sympathizers in the Armed Forces, especially the Army.
