Greece’s main opposition PASOK party has called on the government to take immediate action at the European Union level following what it described as a serious escalation of Turkish provocations.
In a statement issued Friday, PASOK-Movement for Change (KINAL) urged the government to formally raise the issue with the EU and demand concrete measures and sanctions against Turkey.
The party pointed to a serious incident involving the reported violation of the Athens Flight Information Region (FIR) by an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) near Alexandroupolis, close to the city’s airport.
According to PASOK, the incident demonstrates the growing intensity of Turkish actions toward Greece and should not be treated as an isolated event.
The opposition party also cited an increase in alleged violations of Greek airspace by Turkish aircraft and drones, alongside what it described as Ankara’s increasingly aggressive and unlawful claims in the Aegean and Eastern Mediterranean.
PASOK said these developments leave “no room for illusions” about the seriousness of the situation.
“The Greek government must immediately, clearly, and decisively expose Turkish provocation to the EU, demanding the adoption of measures and the imposition of sanctions,” the PASOK-KINAL press office said.
The party’s intervention comes as Greek-Turkish tensions remain focused on airspace violations, drone activity and competing claims in the Aegean and Eastern Mediterranean.
PASOK is calling for the European Union to take a more active role in addressing what it considers repeated Turkish challenges to Greece’s sovereignty and security.
