Farmakonisi: Footage of Greek Coast Guard vessel harassed by a Turkish vessel
by Athens Bureau
Farmakonisi
Turkish provocation on Greece's eastern maritime borders are continuing unabated, as yesterday's incident at Farmakonisi demonstrates.
Yesterday, three Turkish fishing boats were found within breathing distance of Farmakonisi island, well within Greek territorial waters, which then led to a Turkish Coast Guard vessel harassing the Greek Coast Guard in the Eastern Aegean.
Greek fishermen informed port authorities about the movements of the Turks and the reaction was immediate.
A patrol boat of the Greek Coast Guard sailed into the maritime area to approach the three Turkish vessels that had invaded Greek territorial waters under the supervision of a Turkish Coast Guard vessel.
The Coast Guard vessel's crew was forced to fire warning shots "in a safe area", as the Coast Guard officially informed, forcing the Turkish vessel to leave heading east towards the Turkish coast.
"As long as Turkey does not change its stance , such incidents will continue," said officials of the Coast Guard to Proto Thema.
In recent months, the number of border incidents with Turkish offshore vessels related to violations of Greek territorial waters amounts to 50 and concern the entire wider area of the eastern Aegean from the Evros Delta to Megisti, according to sources cited by Proto Thema.
