A video has surfaced showing Greek soldiers leaving the island of Kastellorizo as they are being replaced.

As it is the tradition in recent years, they say goodbye to the island and its people in their own way, singing the Greek National Anthem.

Kastellorizo is in the epicenter of the Greek-Turkish crisis as the two countries are on the verge of war.
