Turkey resumed its provocations against Greece by dispatching F-16 fighter jets to fly over Greek islands.

At 11:29, a pair of Turkish F-16 aircraft flew over Makronisi and the Anthropofa (an island complex of Fourni Ikaria) at 20,500 feet.

At 11:30, a second pair of Turkish F-16s  flew over Makronisi and the Anthropofa again.

The provocations come as earlier today the Greek Foreign Minister, Nikos Dendias, lambasted the Turkish Ambassador over fake claims Greece mistreats minorities and continually provokes Turkey.
