Turkey has accused the Greek military of harassing a Turkish research vessel in the Aegean Sea.
The Turkish Ministry of Defence said that four Greek F-16 fighters had flown close to the ship TCG Cesme, which was carrying out technical and scientific research in international waters.
One of the fighter jets is alleged to have flown at an altitude of 1,000 metres and dropped a flare two nautical miles away from the Turkish ship.
The incident occurred near the Greek island of Lemnos, the ministry said in a statement. This is unfortunately one of the frequent acts of harassment by our Greek neighbours, Turkish Defence Minister Hulusi Akar told the press.
