Ankara is once again setting a scene of tension with statements and propaganda moves
Scales the volume above the Aegean Turkeya day after the announcement by the Republic of Cyprus about the huge natural gas deposit in the Cypriot EEZ.
The Turkish air force carried out 78 violations of Greek airspace today, Tuesday, while there were also eight engagements with Greek aircraft.
In all cases, the Turkish aircraft were recognized and intercepted by corresponding Greek fighters, in accordance with international rules, according to standard tactics, as announced by the Greek Defense Ministry.

According to Ankara’s claim, the Greek fighters tried to block the Turkish ones.
Turkey also maintains that it responded to this action and that the Greek fighter jets were removed from the area, while it states that the military attaché of Greece was summoned for an explanation to the Ministry of Defense.
