Turkey Court Orders Release of 2 Greek Troops Held since March
A Turkish court on Tuesday ordered the release of two Greek soldiers detained since March on espionage charges for illegally crossing the border, in a case that has added to tensions between Athens and Ankara.
The court in the northern Edirne region ruled that the two soldiers would now be tried without being held in detention, the state-run Anadolu news agency said. It was not immediately clear if they would be able to return home to Greece.
