The two Greek soldiers are finally home! (PHOTOS)

Photos from their flight and their reception at the Thessaloniki airport

Newsroom August 15 10:16

After 167 days of detention in Adrianople’s prisons, Angelos Mitretodis and Sergeant Dimitris Kouklatzis are now at last free.

The two soldiers were held practically as hostages of the Turkish government as they still have not been charged with any crime!

The Deputy Foreign Minister George Katrougalos and Deputy Chief of the Hellenic Armed Forces General Constantine Floros were inside the presidential airplane that was sent to bring them back home.

The two soldiers got off the plane dressed in their military uniforms and they were finally reunited with their families.
