Not sure what is meant here by "engagements". Don't think any shoot-downs occurred or we would have heard of it. But it does sound like the Turkish F-16s were intercepted by the Greek AF and they refused to change course and were chased off by the Greek AF?

Engagements with Turkish F-16s in the Aegean

September 28, 2011 | Filed under: Air Force,Featured News

Three engagements between Greek and Turkish F-16 fighter jets occurred over the Aegean Sea on Wednesday, for the first time in the last months.
Today, Turkish pilots did not change their course after being intercepted and identified by Greek pilots, leading to engagements. One of them took place west of Lesbos while two more took place between Lesbos and Chios.

A total of 12 Turkish military aircraft entered the Athens FIR without having previously submitted flight plans. Eight of them were armed. Besides the three engagements, three violations of Greek airspace by an equal number of Turkish aircraft formations were also recorded.
