Greek servicemen in military hospital for check up
The two Greek servicemen, Angelos Mitretodis and Dimitris Kouklatzis after their arrival to Macedonia airport early Wednesday, were sent to 424 Military hospital for a check up.
A Turkish court ruled on Tuesday the release of two Greek officers that had been detained since March for entering a military zone in Turkey on the border with Greece.
The Edirne court did not impose any restrictive travel measures on the two men, which means they will be allowed to return to Greece. They are likely to return on Wednesday.
In Tuesday's court hearing, the two Greek officers and their lawyers sought their immediate release on the grounds that an examination of the digital devices held by the two men failed provide show any signs espionage.
The two Greek officers told the court they had entered Turkey by mistake, following footprints which they had located on the Greek side.
The prosecutor then informed the court that the time they had been detained for is in line with a possible sentence for illegally entering a military zone. The judge agreed there is no evidence of espionage, deciding they will only face charges of illegally entering a military zone.
