Turkey committed 2,000 violations of Greek territorial waters up to July.

Omissions

• The official GEETHA page retrieved documents monthly violations only up to April 2026 (1,098 cumulative); the specific cumulative figure 'up to July' (2,000) is not directly visible in the retrieved source data and is inferred from the trend.
• The GEETHA page is continuously updated, so its cumulative figure grows over the year; the indexed snapshot only shows January–April.
• The claim is a cumulative stock count for a partial year, not an annual total; the same source shows 2025 figures for comparison.
• The claim is made by an opposition (PASOK-KINAL) MEP, who has an incentive to emphasise the scale of Turkish provocations.
