Turkey refused to participate in NATO exercises to be held in Greece.
A dispute continues between countries over maritime and air borders. Athens regularly accuses Ankara of violating the country's airspace with its warplanes. This time, Turkey accused Greece of changing the airspace delimitation in its favor.
This is reported by the Turkish NTV channel.
It is noted that the Tiger Encounter exercises are being held annually in different countries to emphasize the solidarity of the participating countries. This year they are planned to be held in Greece from May 9 to May 20.
However, according to the Turkish media, Greece has prepared a technical regulation that is necessary for all states to comply with before each exercise. However, Athens made additions regarding Turkey, “speculating on the conflict between the two countries.”
Despite the fact that the command of the Turkish Air Force demanded to change the regulations, Greece did not accept Turkey's demands. As a result, Ankara eventually refused to participate in the exercise.
Recall that it was previously reported that three sea mines had already been destroyed in Turkey, and anti-mine hunter ships, helicopters, maritime patrol aircraft and underwater defense groups are in combat readiness.
