Greek fighter jets have provoked the Turkish ship TCG Çeşme in the international waters of the northern Aegean, which was conducting scientific and technical research in the hydrographic area.
One of the four Greek fighter jets “provoked” the research ship with a “chaff” cartridge, approaching it at a distance of 2 nautical miles.
The research ship TCG Çeşme started conducting scientific and technical research in the hydrographic area in international waters in the northern Aegean, reports Anadolu Agency (AA).
The ship, which as part of the annual program of planned activities will conduct scientific and technical research in the northern Aegean until March 2, has been provoked by Greek fighter jets.
Four F-16 aircraft of the Greek Air Force, west of the island of Lemnos, approached TCG Çeşme. One of the fighter jets “provoked” the research ship with a “chaff” cartridge approaching at a distance of 2 nautical miles.
Turkish Defense Ministry sources announced that the necessary response has been given to the provocation that Greek fighter jets have made from an altitude of 1,000 meters.
The Chaff prevention system, which is used to deceive heat-guided missiles and radar, is found on most fighter jets. The system is activated by pilots or by aircraft systems automatically.
While Turkey defends its position on resolving the problems in the Aegean and the Eastern Mediterranean within the relationship of international law, good neighborliness and dialogue, Greece continues any kind of activity that escalates tensions in the region.
Since the consultative talks began on January 25, Greece in the northwest of the island of Skyros, the area that includes international waters, has conducted the “Lightning-21” exercise with 20 ships and many aircraft.
Security experts have described the activities in question as a clear indication of Greece’s pro-tension and uncompromising stance, which does not want to resolve problems through talks and dialogue.
