Statement by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs regarding the unfounded and false claims alleging violation of Turkish airspace (21.05.2022)

We reject the unfounded and false claims of the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs alleging violation of Turkish airspace by Greek fighter aircraft a few days ago.

These accusations constitute yet another attempt from the part of Turkey to misinform and deny responsibility for its illegal and provocative actions.

It is at least an oxymoron for a country which recently carried out 42 overflights of Greek territory within one day and which threatens Greece with war, in violation of fundamental principles of the UN Charter, to accuse Greece of provocative actions.

By its actions, Turkey once again undermines regional security and stability, as well as the cohesion of NATO at a critical juncture.
