Greece Engaged In 1,123 Turkey's Airspace, Water Violations

Greece has engaged in 1,123 violations of Tukey’s airspace and coastal waters so far this year.

This is as tensions between the two countries are again on the rise with mutual accusations of rights violations.

According to reports by Anadolu Agency (AA) on Sunday, last year, the total number of violations numbered 1,616.

The Greek armed forces harassed Turkish jets on mission flights by locking the radar for 3,372 seconds in 14 separate incidents from Aug. 15 to the present.

It added that on Sept. 1, Greece harassed the maritime patrol plane that was performing the NATO Sea Guard Operation mission in the south of Rhodes.

While Defense Ministry sources emphasized that the aircraft in question was performing a NATO mission and was unarmed, they said that they had responded in kind within the framework of reciprocity principles.
