Unprecedented challenge: Turkish fighters arrived 2.5 miles from Alexandroupolis – Strong step of the Foreign Minister

Every previous one surpassed earlier today Turkish provocation with two fighter jets reaching to approach her Alexandroupolis just 2.5 nautical miles away. The reaction of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was immediate, which proceeded to a direct and intense protest action against the Turkish ambassador in Athens, while at the same time, in a statement issued, it speaks directly about the escalation of the Turkish provocation.

THE Ankara annoyance and the delusional statements by Erdogan’s ministersboth the results and the impact of the trip of the Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis to Washington today were expressed with the violation of the national airspace and with the pair of Turkish fighters reaching almost over Alexandroupolis.

The announcement of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs follows:

We condemn in the strongest terms the unprecedented violation of national sovereignty by two Turkish fighters, which illegally entered our national airspace and approached Alexandroupolis at a distance of only 2.5 nautical miles.

This action is a very clear escalation of the Turkish provocation.

It is part of Turkey’s effort to promotes its neo-Ottoman revisionismviolating all the fundamental rules of International Law.

This undermines the cohesion and immediate priorities of NATO, and poses a clear threat to the European Union at a critical juncture, as the port of Alexandroupolis is a key transport hub for strengthening our allies.

By order of Minister Nikos Dendias, the Secretary General of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Themistoklis Demiris, made an immediate and intense protest to the Turkish Ambassador here. At the same time, instructions were given to inform our allies and partners, as well as the EU, NATO and the UN.
