The FIR of Athens has been violated once again by the Turkish airforce... Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations: Deluxe Edition

45 Turkish aircrafts violated the FIR of Athens yesterday.

Before been intercepted by the Greek aircrafts which took off in 5 minutes (the best readiness in NATO) 6 violations of the national air space of Greece and 15 violations of air traffic regulations got recorded.

For the record Turkish airforce has been violating the air space of Greece since 1981 quite frequently up to few dozens per day in crucial periods.

Resently they even "demanded" from Greek aircrafts flying above Limnos (a Greek island within the national air space of Greece) to provide them with their flight schedules!!!

For violating our air space for the past 20 years?

I don't know this time but they usually they give something stupid and false like that we are violating their air space but nothing like this has ever been recorded or no explanation at all.

Sounds like you haven't noticed the Turkish threads against Greece, Cyprus, Syria, Armenia, their expansionist policy to the west and the east, the massacre of the Kurds or the rediculus threads against the Russians and many more.

If you can find any proven violation of the Turkish air space from Greek aircrafts please tell me where to find them because I would be very interested.

Either you violate someone's air space or not.
There is only one point of view on this, not two.

However, if you are searching for the reasons behind it you can find it to the Turkish foreign & domestic policy ruled by a militaristic institution.

Simply Greece after the Minor Asia war and their defeat they have given up any claims against Turkey. In the contrary Turkey has increased their demand against Greece. If you can find anything that negates this fact please presend me with facts.

Turks have big shadows in their policies.
They would like to be in europa zone, but they haven't read enough or haven't very well understood the Human Right Declaration.

They promised some economical counter-strike after French gouvernment acknowledged the Armenians Genocide.

I don't know what they have done ...

Stop trolling, you are too easy.


edit: you just hate it when something good is spoken about France because you are too egotistical to like that country. It is an inferiority complex you people have and must break it.

France is far better than you. (but then again it's Dinodoc and Stewie I'm talking to, so forget it, especes d'ordures )

Turkey's airforce will continue to do what it wants. It neeeds to fly over Greek Islands because Greece Owns(Well actually illegaly occupies) so many islands in the Aegean. It'd be almost impossible to not fly over Greek Islands when flying in the Aegean, which is a natural place for Turkey to fly. Besides, those Islands are really Turkey's Greece just stole them, so Turkey can fly there if it wants.

And stop blabbing on about made up genocides.

Yes, they handled their revolution oh so well. And they were really concerned about human rights in Africa and Southeast Asia. And doing business with the Iraqi military was a real step forward in human rights.

That is quite normal considering that the turks massacred 1 million of armenian civilian man women and children not so long ago.

No. It must respect the international laws and the frontiers with Greece. And it must do so of its own free will, not because we make her do it.

quote:

These islands have had greek populations for millenia. And they are recognised from Turkey as Greek for 200 years from the Convention of Lozane which clearly dictates the borders of each country.

Greeks lived for Millenia in Constantinople and Asia Minor too but they were also massacred by the Turks (2 millions of civilians massacred in total in the 20th century by Turkey)

Turkey shall abandon its aspirations for war and expansion. The US should not back her up just because she needs her as an ally.
Support bastard regimes, you are a bastard regime.



quote:

It is not natural to try to fly inside another country's territory. Maybe if they were a democracy, the turks would understand the meaning of law.


Sprayber, the French lost business and investements in Turkey by their bold deed of recognizing the Armenian Genocide by the Turks. They did it only out of respect to truth and the humanitarian principles which they first founded.


MarkG, yeah I know...

That explains it then! Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations

I was in Chalkis (you know, a city from civ2 ) today and jet fighters were constantly passing above us. Tanagra airbase was working overtime, as it seems.

People around here perhaps don't understand how many millions of Euros does this thing cost to both sides, in both fuel, maintenance and ageing of the aircrafts. In addition, the stress inflicted on the pilots and planes has cost quite a few lives in plane crashes (although our planes do not crash during interception, unlike the turkish ones).

We will complain since Turkey keeps requiring us to spend fuel in order to chase back to their holes its louzy pilots who VIOLATE OUR AIRSPACE (=that's the point of it all faded glory).


And Axi didn't say we shot a plane down. We can do it very easily but we don't use weapons as long as they don't use weapons.

The turks fall to the sea and get killed by themselves because they can't manouvre their planes right. They lose control during the dogfights and they crash.

They should train better or thay can drop dead for all I care.

Turkey must stop violated air borders, it's as simple as that. And that's the point.

No I didnt imply that greece shot/or should shoot down a plane. Im just saying...your angry about using some jet fuel (understandable). But if you get in a war. You will be paying alot bigger price then a few hundred pounds of jet fuel .


The simple answer is to lock them with your HAWK SAM's we gave you, and let them know there being watched/threatened.

F-15? Turkey does not own F-15.
Well, if you can beat them then we can too since our pilots are better than yours. Along with the Israeli the best in the world.
FYI, my brother served for a period (1996) in a radar base and the percentages where 92% Greek intercepts opposite to only 8% of Turkish intercepts. That means that in a possible conflict Greece will lose an 8% of their interceptors and Turkey their 92%.
Besides Israeli pilots who trained a great deal of Turkish pilots they said that their level is very low.
Seems to me that the Turkish airforce is laughable.
