Demarches over Turkish Notam

The Greek government will remonstrate with international organisations following the publication on Saturday by the Turkish government of a Notam that has designated a large section of the Aegean Sea - from the Greek islands of Skyros to that of Limnos - as an area where it will conduct armed forces exercises and use it as a firing range until the end of the year, violating international law and Greek sovereign rights.

According to sources, Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras and Foreign Minister Nikos Kotzias decided on Sunday to file demarches at the United Nations, NATO, the European Union and the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO), condemning Turkey.

A demarche was also filed on Sunday evening at the Turkish Embassy in Athens.
