A unprecedented Turkish provocation: Turkish F-16 fighter jets not only violated Greek air space in the region of Evros with low flights reaching even 500 ft (200 meters), they also harassed a Greek military helicopter patrolling over the border area to Turkey. It is the first time, Turkey conducts such kind of provocation and violates air space over the land border between the two countries. Turkish fighter jets normally violate Greek airspace over islands in the Aegean Sea.
