Allegations that tanks are being deployed to the Greek border by the Turkish Armed Forces (TSK) have proved baseless, Anadolu Agency (AA) reported late Saturday, Daily Sabah reports.
According to information obtained by an AA correspondent, the transfer of the tanks was pre-planned by Turkey’s Second Army, based in the eastern province of Malatya.
Earlier Saturday, Ihlas News Agency reported that the TSK had begun deploying dozens of tanks to the Greek border amid tensions over maritime borders between the two countries.
The agency reported that two truck convoys loaded with some 40 tanks had been dispatched from the Syrian border in the country's Hatay province to the province of Edirne, which borders Greece.
