The Ministry of National Defense emphasized that Turkish flights were conducted in international airspace. Greece claims that Turkish aircraft violated its airspace.

Greek Defense Minister Nikos Dendias stated that the military must be prepared for any situation, reflecting growing concerns in Greece.

Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's comments regarding Turkey's F-35 process are being closely monitored in Greece. This situation could further escalate tensions in the region.
