Greek Army Denounces 'Serious' Turkish Navy Violation

A Turkish navy patrol boat Friday fired shots in Greek waters in the southeast of the Aegean Sea, Greek military staff said, qualifying the incident as "serious".

No tension over Russian aircraft near Turkey's airspace. Regarding recent claims that Greek coast guard boats intervened in Turkish boats in the waters of the Imia islands, Davutoglu said....

The incident over the Black Sea on Wednesday in which Turkish F-16 jets pursued a Russian military aircraft flying near Turkish airspace [1] must not be assessed as a sign of tension between the countries, Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said on Saturday.

Davutoglu explained the Russian aircraft was conducting a drill in accordance with international law, and the pursuit by Turkish F-16s was merely an automatic response toward objects approaching airspace.

Davutoglu responded to questions during a press conference at the ministry in Ankara with his Bulgarian counterpart Kristian Vigenin.
“Sometimes such measures are taken between nations amid these types of exercises... there is no reason to blow this case out of proportion,” he said.
