Four Turkish F-16 fighter jets flew over a cluster of Greeks islands on seven occasions on Tuesday.

Yigit Bulut, the head adviser to the Turkish President has once again ratcheted up tensions by saying that “it would be a shame for us to wage war on Greece for ‘technical reasons’. It would be like an adult beating a child in a cradle”.

During the return of the Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras from the island of Ro to Rhodes, two Turkish fighters flew at 25,000-27,000 feet, while the Turkish controller demanded the helicopter pilot to leave, what they said to be, the Turkish airspace!
