Turkish court releases two Greek soldiers pending spying trial

A Turkish court released two Greek soldiers pending their trial on espionage charges, state-run news agency Anadolu said on Tuesday, in a case that has fuelled tensions between the two neighboring NATO allies.

Greece has said the soldiers crossed into Turkey by mistake while following the trail of suspected illegal migrants. Turkish courts ordered their detention in March on suspicion of illegal entry and attempted military espionage.
