Turkish media
Earlier, Turkish media reported on an incident that took place on Saturday on the bank of the river Evros, which is a natural border with Greece, near the village of Antasarchanli in Edirne. 
Antasarchanli is located just opposite the Greek village of Lagyna, north of Tycheros.
Some Turkish media reported fire by Greek soldiers and others by men in civilian clothes.
According to Turkish reports, the alleged victim, Mehmet Durgun, was sitting with his fellow villager Suleiman Sener, 60, on the river bank when he was shot in the face. According to Sener, who rushed to the nearby village where he reported the incident, Dugun died instantly.
An ambulance arrived at the scene and transported the body of the victim to the morgue of the hospital in Edirne.
