Greek F-16 fighter jets harass a Turkish research vessel in the Aegean Sea

“It was an act of harassment, which our Greek neighbors carry out frequently. We gave the necessary response in line with rules,” Turkish Defense Minister Hulusi Akar said.

Turkish government dispatched the vessel in international waters of the Aegean Sea until March 2 to do hydrographic surveying.

Greece described the move as a provocative act. (ILKHA)
