Greek Coast Guard boat reaches Turkish coast in pursuit of smuggler


A Greek coast guard boat was carried away by the pursuit of a Turkish smuggler, reaching the coast of Turkey, where the event caused a major scandal.

On video recordings It is clear that the Greek boat has approached the Turkish coast in the bay Akchabuk at a distance of about 50 meters, Turkish media reported. Then the boat slowed down and gradually returned.

The Turkish boat ran ashore, after which the coast guard boat left, and the chase was recorded by civilian cameras. In Turkey, this problem has become widespread: Turkish media called it “scandal” And “shame” for Turkey, and the merchant was named “fisherman”!

Cihat Yayci, a retired rear admiral known for his views, made a statement on the matter, saying: “That's the end of the story… The Greek coast guard approaches the houses in Bodrum Akyarlar, almost close to the land, and pursues a Turkish fisherman in Turkish waters… Remove this disgrace if you can…”, he said.

The Greek Coast Guard followed the boat in Bodrum and approached within 50 meters of the shore of Akcabük Bay.


It should be noted that the Greek Coast Guard boat pursued a Turkish human trafficker on a holiday, after a smuggler dropped off an unknown number of migrants on one of the islands.
