The Defense Ministry said five Turkish jets appeared without prior notification to accompany a flight of US B-52 bombers which hadn't been due to have a fighter escort through an area subject to Greek flight control.

It said four Greek fighters were scrambled and chased off the armed Turkish planes, adding that Athens informed NATO and US authorities of the incident.

Greece also accused Turkey of 78 violations of Greek airspace Tuesday with 23 planes, 15 of which were armed.
