Several violations by Turkish warplanes were reported in the southeastern Aegean on Thursday, while in two instances the fighter planes were armed, according to Greek military authorities.
Specifically, a two-plane (F-16) formation and a CN-235 maritime patrol turbo prop proceeded with three infringements of Athens FIR regulations and, on one occasion, in a violation of national airspace.
All of the intruding aircraft were recognized and intercepted based on international rules and norms, according to a press release by the Greek side.
