Greek Defense Ministry says Turkish fighter jets have violated the country's airspace.

Iran PressEurope: Two Turkish F-16 fighter jets flew over the Aegean islands of Oinousses and Panagia in the Aegean Sea at 4 pm on Wednesday (local time) in violation of Greek airspace, the Greek Defense Ministry said in a statement adding that Greek fighter jets responded in a timely manner.

Greece has repeatedly claimed that its airspace has been violated by Turkish fighter jets. The two neighboring countries have long had strained relations due to border disputes.

Greece and Turkey dispute over ownership of a number of rocky islands and continental shelf between the Mediterranean and Aegean water borders, and also claim that the other side is sabotaging the negotiation process to resolve the Cyprus issue. 219
