Two Turkish fighter-bombers flew over inhabited Greek islands in the eastern Aegean on Wednesday. This was announced by the Greek General Staff.
Among the islands were therefore the three islands of Agathonisi, Arki and Lipsi, on which a total of about 1000 people live. The F-16 jets flew over these and other uninhabited islands at an altitude of about 9,000 meters. According to a report from the state broadcaster ERT, Greek fighter-bombers intercepted the planes.
From January to the end of November, Turkish fighter-bombers flew over Greek territory 216 times. In addition, Turkish aircraft had entered Greek airspace 10,103 times during this period, the general staff said. The EU has repeatedly condemned such actions. Overflights, especially over populated areas, are considered a serious violation of a country’s sovereignty.
Greece and Turkey are at odds on many issues, in the summer of 2020 they were on the brink of military conflict. Conflicts include sovereign rights in the Aegean Sea and the exploitation of potential natural gas reserves in the region. (sda/dpa)
