Tensions between Greece and Turkey have risen again in the Aegean: Two coast guards patrol boats from both countries collided slightly to the side in the Aegean. That said the mayor of the nearby island of Kalymnos, Dimitris Diakomichalis,
the Greek news channel Skai. However, the incident did not have any serious consequences as no one was injured. "You pushed yourself away like footballers, so to speak," said the mayor.
The incident occurred the day before near the controversial rocky island of Imia and was linked to disputes over fishing rights, the mayor of Kalymnos said.
Greece and Turkey have been fighting over sovereign rights in the Aegean Sea and the extent of the Exclusive Economic Zone in the eastern Mediterranean for decades.
