| Map Showing the Greek Island of Imia |
A very severe incident occurred near the Greek islets of Imia, in the early hours of Monday the 12th February 2018, when a Turkish Coast Guard warship rammed the anchored Greek high sea Patrol Ship "Gavdos", causing severe damages. This act of unprecedented aggression, during a period of peace, could have turned into a terrible tragedy, but miraculously there were no casualties.
The Greek Government retaliated severely, rebuking the episode and the European Union reacted a few days later, as the president, Mr Jean Claude Juncker said that the EU was "strictly against the behaviour of Turkey.".
