Greece told the UN Secretary General that Turkey is challenging its sovereignty over the islands in the eastern Aegean and is pursuing a hostile and revisionist policy that is destabilizing the region.
A four-page letter dated May 25 to Secretary General António Guterres, signed by Greek Permanent Representative to the UN Maria Theofili, was published by the Associated Press.
Greece calls on Turkey to stop questioning the sovereignty of Greece over its islands in the Aegean, in particular through legally unfounded and historically false claims, and to refrain from threatening Greece with war, the letter says.
Turkey's threatening actions included repeated overflights of Greek territory by fighter jets in violation of international law.
