Greek Foreign Ministry on Saturday dismissed as “fake news” reports that Turkish soldiers have “invaded and occupied” a patch of Greek land in the northeastern Evros border area.


“We stress that no foreign power is on Greek territory," the ministry said in a statement, responding to reports in British and other media. "The government has proven that it knows how to defend the borders of Greece and Europe and our sovereign rights," it added.
