Two Greek servicemen held in Turkey since early March were freed without restrictions on Tuesday by a court in the western border city of Edirne, and are expected to return to Greece on Wednesday.
The court ruled on a motion to free the men, adding that there were no reasons to kept them in pretrial detention.
A goverment executive jet will bring back the pair from Edirne on Wednesday morning. In a brief court appearance, they reiterated that they entered Turkish territory by mistake, having followed footprints in the snow.
