  • [01] Greek-US relations entering a new phase, says U.S. Ambassador Pearce in farewell meeting

    Greek-American relations are entering a new, very productive phase, since Greece is an extremely important partner of the United States because of its geopolitical importance, the U.S. Ambassador to Greece, David Pearce, said on Friday, during a meeting with Alternate Minister for European Affairs Nikos Xydakis.

    Xydakis hosted a farewell luncheon for the ambassador who is retiring and therefore leaving Greece in the first two weeks of September.

    Pearce also praised the efforts of Greece to exit the economic crisis and become a pillar of stability and security for the entire region, despite having received huge flows of refugees into it over the past year, according to a press release by the foreign ministry.

    [02] Turkish military planes enter Athens FIR, in first infringement since July 14

    A pair of Turkish fighter planes on Friday entered the Athens Flight Information Region (FIR), in the first infringement of the Athens FIR since a failed coup attempt in the neighbouring country. According the Hellenic National Defence General Staff (HNDGS), the Turkish Air Force F-16s entered the Athens FIR without submitting flight plans in the southeastern Aegean, committing one violation for air traffic regulations.

    The two Turkish aircraft were not armed and were identified and intercepted by Greek fighter jets.

    The last Athens FIR infringement was on July 14, the day before the coup attempt, when six Turkish fighter planes and three naval cooperation CN-235 aircraft had entered the Athens FIR without submitting flight plans, committing four violations of air traffic rules that turned into 16 violations of national airspace in various parts of the Aegean.
