Turkish fishermen continue provocations in south Aegean
- Written by E.Tsiliopoulos
There is no end to the proclivities of the Turkish fishermen who do not hesitate to throw their nets into Greek territorial waters.
The last in the series of the episodes was the three incidents that took place during the weekend in Imia and Kos.
The first two, as reported by the Free Press, occurred on Saturday when the Coast Guard was informed of Turkish fishermen found in Greek territorial waters between Kos and Pserimos.
According to the same information, Turkish fishermen appeared in the area at 12:30 noon. Eventually they departed from the spot when they saw the coast guard of Port Lima that rushed to the spot.
A 24-hour later an alarm was sounded again when the Coast Guard was briefed on a Turkish fishing boat anchored north of Kalolimnos that threw its nets near Imia.
The situation in the whole of the eastern Aegean made, a few days ago, 36 fishermen send a petition to the government asking for protection of their sovereign rights.
