On February 23rd, Ankara complained that four Greek F-16 fighter jets harassed the Turkish TCG Çeşme research vessel.
The vessel is conducting allegedly illegal research in the Aegean Sea, condemned by Greece, Cyprus and others.
TCG Çeşme is attempting to carry out research in the Aegean Sea after a NAVTEX, the international maritime navigational telex/notification system, was issued by the coastal station of Smyrna (Izmir in Turkish).
Greece said that the Smyrna-based NAVTEX notification is an illegal act since Turkey has no authority to issue a NAVTEX to seafarers for hydrographic work in this area of the Aegean as it is the responsibility of the Lemnos station.
Subsequently, Turkey lodged a complaint saying that four Greek fighter jets “harassed” the TCG Çeşme by dropping flares two nautical miles away.
In a statement, Turkish Defense Minister Hulusi Akar said that “unfortunately it is one of the frequent harassments of Greece. We have our own rules and we responded appropriately in the context of these rules.”
In response, Greece denied that it harassed the Turkish research vessel.
Unnamed Greek City Times sources from the Greek Ministry of Defense said that the Air Force are not active in the area where TCG Çeşme is located.
According to Turkish Media, the vessel is scheduled to continue its works in the region until March 2 and was targeted by Greek fighter jets near the island of Lemnos in the northern part of the Aegean Sea.
Necessary retaliation was carried out in response to the Greek fighter jets flying over the Turkish vessel at an altitude of 1,000 meters (3,280 feet), unnamed sources added.
Turkey’s Defense Ministry recently stated that Greece has continued its provocative rhetoric and uncompromising stance since exploratory talks were held in January, adding that Athens is misleading the international community with its remarks.
Greece protested Turkey’s deployment of the TCG Çeşme research vessel in what it called an “unnecessary” move.
Athens said that although the ship was operating in international waters, the responsibility for issuing maritime advisories in that part of the Aegean fell to Greece.
After a five-year pause and months of tensions over overlapping claims for energy resources in the Eastern Mediterranean and the Aegean in 2020, Greek and Turkish officials met in Istanbul on January 25th to discuss the many issues between the two sides in “exploratory talks.”
It appears that there was little progress.

Greece should buy some Khybini pods and use them against unauthorized naval activity by the Turks in the Aegean and Mediterranean Sea.
Russia, and only Russia can help Greece against Turkey, they must leave NATO
Until recently Greece had good relations with Russia, they decided to align themselves with US.
Yes, but I believe in the end everything will line up perfectly Don’t forget that Turkey closing the Bosporus street is already a causes belli for Russia, in that war the winner would already be obvious https://youtu.be/i4qpT_ow3sc
Another incel dreaming at WW3
If Turkey closes the straits … NATO and/or the USA are coming to their rescue … hello?
You’re on your own …. eh?
The punishment would be severe but Erdogan would raise the ‘white’ flag almost immediately … maybe Putin would demand the Aya Sophia being reopened as a CHURCH … eh?
ROTFLMAO
dimwit Canuck villager…turkey will never restrict Russian vessels in bosphoros—too much crack in trailer park
The poster made the assertion crack head …
Let’s be serious, Turkey will never close the strait. That’s a wet dream for virgin emo boys.
There are plenty pro-turkeys here who think really ‘big’ … eh?

Understand that you are new to SF and are willing to do the job that lazy Allah could do with a little hocus pocus.
Yeah I’m a rookie…pretty impressive list for a beginner right?
You have not read my many statements against the thug state of Israel. Will think you have been too busy engaging in excessive religious activity to keep up with the real world.
Muslims are my Brothers they are Good folks… perhaps that’ll explain why you are on my list… Filthy Devilworshipping Extremist MI6 Hempher Crypto-Muslim-Wahhabis are my Enemies
Brotherly Muslims kill each other. Is good entertainment to watch for normal people.
It is Your Filthy AngloZioNazi Albert the KKKike Empire that is responsible for all misery & destruction on this Planet boy…
Divide et Impera
Slavery has been practiced by Arabs and the black man for thousands of years. The fact that some Europeans bought slaves from you in recent times is not the same as the white man being the cause of all the misery in your country. You are probably angry that you have not yet escaped to an atheist peaceful European country that many Muslims before you have managed to do.
I happen to live in beautiful Multicultural Holland….we will fight as One when the Shit hits the Fan…Unity is what the Childraping Pineal Gland Sucking Elites fear the Most
Yes, I know the security police are watching what extremist Islamists like you are doing. Reads more often about arrests of extremist worshipers who want unrest similar to the tradition in the countries they come from. Jews, Muslims and Christianity are all Arab religions and have not brought any good to humanity.
You don’t have a clue what you are talking about…ZioNazis are in Full Control of Europe…. Neo-Nazis like you are their b*tches…bend over one more time for Uncle Satanyahu boy it will only hurt a little…
Will believe that your imagination allah does not like Islamists as Muslims are in the majority when it comes to corona disease. But possibly the reason is that Islamists do not understand the realities of life and how science and facts work.
You are Truly a complete Brainless Turd…Science was practiced in Persia when European Hunter Gatherers were still living in caves, dressed in Bearskins & had invented some stone tools
Don’ t loose your time : you are speaking with a debrained scandinavian .There are no more men in that hell on earth .
Yes, Persia has a great history. But with the advent of Islam came decay and misery.
lol
I made the ‘A List’ …
You forget servet somethingoglu.
do not worry we don’t need help. from NATO we can deal with anyone attack us like last time try to remember.. bonso
Close the straits and you’ll regret the action
Whatever pain you’d inflict will be as a curse
why should we close the staits? I don’t see reason
Sacrifices must be made sometimes
Even from the back of the keyboard
After the cccp seperation,sure that seemed logic back then,but this is now! Faith excells prudence,wizdom excells over higher prudence,logic persists,
No future in fascism nor the lgbtq/satanic culted,beware of false prophets:
The world geopolitics has changed,churchill tried in ww1 but lost to turkey, 12 NAUTICAL MILES IS INTERNATIONAL LAW,SCRW THE CIA/LACKLEYS. There are too many far superior means of success than war to serve p00fs!
Don’t forget that Russia fully supported Greece on the 12nm issue, if they wanted to implement it
Never
Awright Jimi.
Gay Greek dreaming dream again talking rubbish https://media1.giphy.com/media/l3vR0iEtukf8ug7Ac/giphy.gif
Decided to align? pmsl
Greece is an EU member state and a NATO member …. lol
Comrade you’re daft …
So is Hungary, Austria and Italy being part of the EU have favorable relations with Russia. Greece it is has been.
Israel has VERY good relations with Russia … too
Is this why geopolitica and katehon. Dugin’s biggest online think-tanks are hammering Israel (and Zionism) on a 24/7 basis?
I don’t get your references … don’t speak in slang
too much LSD, not enough rehab
I wouldn’ t say ” killing russians ” means ” good relations “…..
Who said anything about killing Russians?
Are YOU referring to the plane Syrian Anti-missile incompetents knocked out of the sky?
Get over it … Putin did but some military brass couldn’t/didn’t … eh?
next
Yeas, Nethanyahu kisses Putin’s posterior a lot when the heat is on.
Hungary and Austria have a non-existent military (Austria recently offered to sell her only 12 unupgraded/nonmodernised Eurofighter jets) and are insignificant geopolitically.
Italy has always been a client-state of the US and clinged on the Euro.
Greece has 0 to gain aligning with Russia. It’s Russia’s fault that for the last 100 years it’s been an anti-Western, “Eurasian” failed state, barely breathing every year with collapsing demography, 0 modern culture, redundant military and hostile relations with its neighbors. Why the hell would GR or any other European state align itself with Russia?
Exactly how I see it as well … 👏👏👏
insecure feminized CIA agent confuses decayed murikan empire, vassal western cultureless states, w Russia “modern” cultureless nations for CIA =hollywood phantasy, crack cocaine nations “the banality of amerika: the radical absence of culture”. J Baudrilliard LOL
I was not talking in military terms, I was referring to political and economic terms. In case your memory is short lived, Greece threatened to veto the EU sanctions imposed on Russia. The rest of your comments about Russia are nonsense.
Blood’s thicker than cocal cola bottled water,you can bet your life on that too

More like no drachmat to be akin as loyal servants of brussels,sad but true:
Let’s stick with Syria and Armenia for now.
??????
Like you did in Artsakh?
No thanks!
Are you serious?
The current Soviet Russian regime of a failed mafia state, spreading Anadolu and Sabah propaganda everywhere?
And GR should align with a dying state like Russia that turned every neighbor against them?
LOL
No way. Russian equipment is only good for kebabs anyway, redundant, outdated and very expensive for its capabilities. Just ask the Indians and why they turned to Fracne for Rafale F3R fighter jets.
idiot CIA agent –too much crack CIA not send idiot to competent rehab counselor

Unamed sources? Here we go,brussels is in all kinds of strife so they will try anything,however that won’t hinder turkeys and greece on going peacefull resolutions,yep the cia/nazis full panick, try to turn everyone against anyone,however the far outdated wedgie trick,ain’t the trends todays: Others may argue,however logic prevails (un named sources)? Does the devil reveal itself,hell no:
Turkey overextends itself, like USA—unable to address domestic problems they require misadventures in civilized nations to distract their peasants…maybe pre-electric Texas will become colony of Rwanda soon
i wouldnt be surprised lol they hate each other
Greece was left alone without allies. JewSA betrayed them. Biden is hiding. NATO alliance is a joke.
Greece is a sovereign country …
your JewSA … declares you to be an anti-Judaism Hater
Your current government’s policies are pro-Israel and pro-American … hello?
So … whose the outlier … a Golden Dawn supporter?
