Another dangerous episode by Ankara occurred in Greece, after a Turkish helicopter made a very low flight last night over the island of Ro, west of Kastellorizo.

It is not yet clear whether the helicopter was political or military.

According to SKAI news, Greek armed forces responded with firing shots in the air, which resulted in the Turkish helicopter leaving immediately.

The incident is said to have occurred at about 11:30pm late Easter Monday evening, where most Greeks were just ending their long weekend celebrations.

This provocative episode is the third made by Turkey in the last few days, as tensions between Athens and Ankara once again heighten.

No official statement has been made by Turkey as of yet.
