A significant development has unfolded as Turkish F-16 fighter jets entered Greek airspace, an event unseen for 30 months. The jets, carrying air-to-air missiles, breached air traffic regulations by entering the Athens Flight Information Region (FIR). This incident took place on September 1st, sparking concern. The relationship between the two nations is strained due to a dispute over islands in the Mediterranean and Aegean Seas. Although both are NATO members, their differing stances on global politics are evident, with Greece supporting India and Turkey supporting Pakistan. This event raised eyebrows among Greek officials. Furthermore, analysts suggest it could be related to the resumption of the Greece-Cyprus underwater electrical cable project, implying a potential message from Turkey to halt the initiative.
