Two Greek soldiers freed after months in a Turkish prison returned to Greece by government jet after their unexpected release by a Turkish provincial court.

Greece's Defense Minister Panos Kammenos said he phoned his Turkish counterpart to express his satisfaction with the soldiers’ release and invite him to visit Greece.

Kammenos told reporters, referring to the Feast of the Dormation, which falls on August 15 and to the Italian torpedoing on a Greek warship on this day in 1940...

“This is a great day for our motherland, the day of Our Lady, the day of Tinos in 1940.”

“I hope that their release...will herald a new day in Greek-Turkish relations. We can live together peacefully, for the benefit of both our peoples.”
