Turkish jets were "radar locked" on Aug. 23 on a mission in international airspace, said the sources, requesting anonymity due to restrictions on speaking to the media, describing the Greek harassment as a "hostile act" according to the NATO rules of engagement.
"Despite this hostile act, the planes completed their planned missions and returned to their bases safely," the sources added.
