Greco-Turkish relations enter a new phase of tension in May 2006, after the mid-air collision of a Greek F-16 with a Turkish F-16 results in the death of the Greek pilot.
Repeated Greek airspace violations and provocations by Turkey, as well as a multitude of internal political problems faced by the Turkish government, have led Greece to fear that Greco-Turkish relations will continue to deteriorate.
