The Turkish Oruc Reis survey ship has been moving between Cyprus and the Greek island of Crete, shadowed by a number of Greek frigates. On Wednesday one of them, the Limnos, was approaching the survey vessel when it came into the path of one of its Turkish naval escorts, the Kemal Reis. “It was an accident,” the source said, adding the Limnos was not damaged. It subsequently took part in a joint military exercise with France off Crete on Thursday morning, the person said.

Greece “should not attempt to provoke Oruc Reis like it did two days ago or it will receive a response,” he said, adding the European Union should not give it “unconditional support.”

MarcherLord1 So, that’s a NO to social distancing then?

You know how far you've fallen when you begin taking examples of acceptable behavior from Iran

p_von_eulenburg Which country can accept GR maximalist behavior Nobody!!

Ankara will call provocative if a Greek sailor burps or F—ts on deck.

Get out of Greek waters you thieves!

Turkey has to be demilitarized, with Turkey leaving Constantinople.

p_von_eulenburg France is international thug and looter. No respect for international law and treaties,wants to lure other countries with stolen territories. İsrail is a leader of north Egypt. Will give Greece the answer they deserve

The Greek war ship the next day took part in an exercise, with France, where as the Turkish frigate went to the ship yard for repairs ....

greek warship crash Turkish warship in such tense days. what a coincidence..

Ankara should suck it up because their dinghy tried to ram the Hellenic Navy's frigate but the skipper of Limnos is skilled enough and with evasive maneuvers was able to turn it against the attacked dinghy which took a hit astern... Plain and simple. Period

Toc Toc! Italian Naaaaavyyyy! Where are youuuuu?! Would you like to send our frigates FREMM in support of our Greek brothers?!

we are not going to let grece to steal our welth in mediterenian or ege. Fare share

It's time to give the Turkey a lesson. 🇪🇬

Turks have been fighting for 1000 years against to terorism , russians , armenians , chinese etc. They are really loving fighting . That’s why everyone should be carefully to them especially greeks 😉😘

Since they are 'conducting' 'research' in area that is not theirs, over the GREEK undershelf, using warships, doing illegal manoeuvres....well, they will need some work to do....(and study time...).

Greece usurped the rights of the turkey
