That link refers to article titles. Still, you have a point. I'll start reversing the order sometime this week.--Jpbrenna 06:59, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] NPOV tag

The final section on Turkey may have truth to it, but has no citations as the contributors bias is clearly evident upon reading it. 68.39.174.238 00:52, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] NPOV Part II

Since 1974, the Turkish state continuously violates Athens FIR flying rules set by ICAO and the Hellenic airspace, resulting in numerous operations of reconnaissance and interception against Turkish fighter jets by the Greek Air Force daily. These operations cause often heroic casualties and loses for the Greek pilots. Amongst the lost pilots are the well known stories of Nikolaos Sialmas (Νικος Σιαλμας), fallen near Agios Eustratios island of Northern Aigean sea and the recent death of Kostas Iliakis (Κωστας Ηλιάκης) who has fallen after a collision with a Turkish F-16 which deliberatelly crashed him as he was trying to stop a what was officially called "spying operation of Turkey towards Crete (Κρητη)" over the island of Karpathos at the South Aigean sea.

1. The FIR of Athens does *NOT* belong to the Greek state. It is under the supervision of the Venizelos Airport.
2. Furthermore, ever since 1998 the ICAO delisted the need for military airplanes to file flight plans. ^{[citation needed]}
3. Therefore, there's no violation of the Greek soverinity when the Turkish planes fly outside the 6 miles radius from teretorial waters.
