Armed Turkish Jets Breach Greek Airspace
Greece has accused Turkey of violating airspace rules by flying military aircraft over the northeastern and southeastern Aegean without permission, the Greek Defense Ministry said Friday.
The officials said that the seven Turkish fighter jets infiltrated the airspace on late Thursday, of which two were armed.
“Ankara’s provocative actions are meant to tell the world that Turkey does not recognize the existing air and sea borders in the Eastern Mediterranean,” said Greece’s former deputy military chief of staff Frangoulis Frangos, according to a report Friday by Russian news outlet Sputnik.
A formation of six planes breached Greek air space twice, while one jet flying on its own made a single incursion.
