Turkish provocations over the Aegean Sea continue with unabated intensity as today, Wednesday, the neighbouring country's air force committed 21 violations of national airspace.
Turkish aircraft also made five overflights as a pair of fighter jets flew over five Greek islands (Farmakonisi, Lipsi, Arkius, Panagia and Oinousses).
In three cases the illegal flights of Turkish aircraft evolved into engagements with Greek alert aircraft while six violations of air traffic rules in the Athens FIR occurred.
In total, seven Turkish F-16 fighters flew over the Northeast, Central and Southeast Aegean Sea, four of which were armed, one CN 235 spy plane and one unmanned UAV.
According to the General Staff, the Turkish aircraft were identified and intercepted in accordance with international rules, as per standard practice.
