ULKE TV in Turkey tweeted one of the four fighter planes from Greece approaching the TCG Cesme reportedly "harassed" it by dropping a "chaff cartridge" two nautical miles away.The service wrote: "Four F-16s belonging to the Greek Air Force harassed the ship 'TCG Çeşme', which conducts scientific and technical research in the international waters of the North Aegean."One of the 4 Greek fighter planes approaching the research ship harassed by dropping a 'chaff cartridge' 2 nautical miles away." ULKE TV added in another tweet: "Ministry of National Defense sources stated that the necessary response was given to the harassment of Greek warplanes from 1000 meters altitude."Turkish Defence Minister Hulusi Akar told reporters in parliament that Ankara had responded with the "necessary retaliation...in line with the rules".He said: "The necessary response was given within the framework of the rules.&nbsp;"Our attitude, our decision, the work we will do on this issue are clear. Nobody should have doubts about this." A Greek defence ministry official denied the accusations, saying "Greek jets never harassed the Turkish vessel."Last Thursday, Greece said it had protested to Turkey over its deployment of the Cesme in the Aegean Sea, in what it described as an "unnecessary" move.An advisory issued by the Turkish navy earlier in the week showed the research vessel would be conducting a hydrographic survey for two weeks from February 18 until March 2 in an area of international waters where both sides have potential interests.Government spokesman Christos Tarantilis said: "It's an unnecessary move which does not help positive sentiment."READ MORE:&nbsp; Officials added the Foreign Ministry had made a verbal complaint.Turkey believes the area to be within international waters, and that the research is unrelated to the dispute over continental shelves.Diplomatic sources said the Cesme would carry out scientific surveys similar to those recently conducted by Greece in the area, which are allowed under a 1976 agreement between the two countries.But Greek officials insisted that while Cesme was operating in international waters, it was responsible for issuing maritime advisories in that part of the Aegean Sea.DON'T MISS&nbsp;[INSIGHT]&nbsp;[COMMENT]&nbsp;[REPORT] On January 25, Greek and Turkish officials met following a five-year hiatus to discuss a longstanding dispute over the delimitation of maritime zones and rights to energy resources in the eastern Mediterranean.The two nations had agreed to meet again in Athens at a later date.Greece said it had sent an invitation to Turkey, suggesting talks could resume as early as the start of next month, ahead of the next EU summit.Ankara had said it would like to continue talks and improve relations with the EU, which Greece had supported in the dispute.This is a breaking story.
