Erdogan: Ankara will respond if Greece continues to provoke it in the Aegean Sea - Levin - 07-09-2022

Greece is using islands in the Aegean Sea to harass Turkish military aircraft, Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Tuesday, adding that Ankara would not tolerate such behavior indefinitely.
......
His words came as the Turkish Foreign Ministry sent a letter to 25 EU members, as well as the bloc’s top diplomat, Josep Borrell, and NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, in which it outlined the Turkish position on the tense situation in the Aegean Sea.
......
Turkey also accused Greece of making “maximalist demands,” in particular by claiming 10 nautical miles of airspace despite its territorial waters in the Aegean Sea only covering an area of 6 nautical miles from any given island, Ankara argues.
Athens, meanwhile, blasted what it called the “outrageous daily slide” of threats made by Ankara. Its Foreign Ministry also vowed to raise the issue of Turkish statements with NATO as well.
