ANKARA, Sept. 9 (Xinhua) -- Greece returned on Sunday two Turkish soldiers who were detained after crossing the border, the Turkish Chief of General Staff said in a statement.
The soldiers, who crossed into the Greek side of the border by mistake while trying to stop migrants, were held by Greek troops on Sunday morning, the statement said.
The Turkish and Greek authorities held talks soon after the incident.
The two soldiers were returned to Turkey in the afternoon, according to the statement.
In March, two Greek soldiers were arrested and charged with espionage by Turkey after they entered the Turkish side of the border.
The two soldiers were released in August and flew back on a Greek government plane.
