eKathimerini — At an informal meeting with his European Union counterparts in Malta on Thursday, Defense Minister Panos Kammenos brought to their attention Turkey’s repeated questioning of Greece’s territorial rights and incursions into the country’s air space and waters.
Continuing a constant pattern of defying NATO, the European Union and international law, Turkish fighter jets on Tuesday, April 25 violated Greek national air space 71 times, four of the incidents winding up in mock dogfights with Greek jets.
On Wednesday, Turkish European Union Affairs Minister Omer Celik claimed the Greek island of Agathonisi “belongs to Turkey,” prompting a rebuke from Athens.
Meanwhile, the Turkish seismic research vessel Barbaros continues to sail in the waters off Cyprus.
