Turkey summoned the Greek military attache in Ankara after Greek F-16 jets “harassed” Turkish warplanes during a NATO mission.
The Greek fighter jets put Turkish F-16s “under a radar lock” above the eastern Mediterranean during a NATO mission, Xinhua news agency reported, citing the semi-official Anadolu Agency.
The Turkish side gave a “necessary response” and the Greek planes left the region, said Anadolu.
The Greek military attache was summoned to the Turkish Defence Ministry over the incident, it added.
