Turkey committed 646 violations of Greek airspace.

Omissions

• The isolated claim does not state the reference period; the fuller statement specifies the figure covers violations recorded 'up to July' 2026.
• No primary source (Greek National Defence General Staff / GEETHA) publishing the 646 figure for 2026 was located; the value appears in news reports of the MEP's own statement, so the sources are not fully independent of the speaker.
• The claim omits comparative context (year-on-year trends), which could affect the impression of escalation.
