A relevant announcement by the National Defence General Staff said that “the Turkish corvete ‘BODRUM” leaving Izmir, moved north of Chios and then west of Psara in international waters. It then followed a southwestern course and at about 19:30 within National Territorial Waters between Tinos-Mykonos.
The corvette is continuing on a southern course and is moving towards the Cyclades (present position northwest of Paros with a southerly course). A Navy ship which is watching the Turkish vessel, is emitting internationally determined warning signals, during the corvette’s sailing in the National Territorial Waters.”
In August 2009, the same corvette (Bodrum F-501 type A69) had hit the rocks at a short distance of only 500 meters from the shores of Kastelorizo. In that event the Turkish corvette had suffered serious damage. And in the spot in the open sea of Kastelorizo that the ship scraped the seabed, the Greek Navy had detected the sonar of the Turkish corvette.
