Fewer challenges in the Aegean after the elections
Under the microscope of the "Pentagon" have entered the Turkish provocation in the Aegean, which increase quality but reduced numbers. On the one hand have decreased compared with 2008 to 30% the numbers of incoming military aircraft in the Athens FIR, the F-16 flying weapons, such as those involved in (virtual) air battles with Greek fighter!
On the other hand, violations of national airspace, and overflight above the Greek islands are growing-these two areas and give a qualitative dimension of the challenges, and directly related to sovereignty.
However, while until the beginning of the election period (7/9/2009) recorded 44 fly over Greek islands, following the takeover of government by the new government was only an overflight. The "post-election" Turkish business related course with Papandreou's visit to Istanbul and the letter to Greek Prime Minister Erdogan, but the prospect of evaluation of Turkey's accession course in December.
The new leadership of the Defense Ministry as saying the Minister E. Venizelos, considers the issues of Greek-Turkish relations should be placed under civilian control and to avoid unnecessary friction, tension and misunderstandings.
