[quote:Revbo™:MV8zMDIyNjUxXzUzNjIxODk2XzM4OTUxNzMx] It's been a while since I read up on the Greco-Turk relationship, although I know it's been strained for quite some time, but it doesn't seem like a very good idea to go invading a NATO ally's airspace when you're at Ground Zero of a potential conflict with Russia. Are they trying to get thrown out of NATO? [/quote]
Original Message
Greece scrambled its fighter aircraft on Tuesday to intercept a group of Turkish F-16 fighter jets that violated its airspace in the eastern Aegean Sea, the General Staff of the Hellenic National Defense said in statement.
A formation of six Turkish fighter jets trespassed into Greece’s flight information region at 3:01 p.m. local time (13:01GMT) in the area between the islands of Lesbos and Chios, the statement said. The jets stayed in the Greek airspace for almost half an hour.
