The day after the visit of the Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras to the USA to meet with the US President Dnald Trump and right after the very warm words the two exchanged in a very friendly atmosphere, Turkey reacted in a quite predictable way:

Defence Minister Panos Kammenos said on Wednesday he has briefed his counterparts in NATO about Turkey’s recent provocations in the Aegean. 

Four Turkish fighter jets and two CN-235 entered Athens’ FIR on Thursday without submitting flight plans. Greek authorities registered six violations of air traffic rules in the FIR which turned into 28 violations of national airspace in several parts of the Aegean.
