That sounds like a general statement. Did they cross the Green line or not and when and by how much?
You have my permission to shoot them down if they stray from the TRNC airspace.
During Taurus 1999 a plane performed a mock bombing run on Paphos airport, and sometime in August an F16 passed low over a Green line guardpost in the very general Lefka/Astromeritis area.
Better?
That was 11 years ago. Anything more recent? But they should not cross the green line. That's clearly wrong and is trying to intimidate.
Please also note that Taurus means attack in the old turkish lingo.
I'm not an air traffic controller, so I have to stick with the specifics I know. Turkey always plays power politics, and they bully into airspace regularly- not nearly as much as with Greece and the Aegean. They've also been hassling the seismic boats looking for gas, seeing as in a bizarre turn of events they somehow feel they have a right to part of the possible reserves South and South West of Cyprus.
