Regarding our questions about the violation of the Syrian airspace by Turkish aircraft remind that Turkish planes violate Greek airspace over the Aegean 1,500 times a year on average and Greece often opposed for it in vain.

Yesterday the Greek Foreign Minister called me to express my solidarity and reminded me of those 1,500 violations of Greek airspace by Turkish aircraft have become something of a routine practice. And he told me that he does not accept the explanations of the Turks even if there was a breach 17 seconds does not justify the attack on the Russian fighter. "
