AFP: New collision between Greek, Turkish ships in Aegean
Greece on Friday said one of its warships had collided with a Turkish ship in the Aegean Sea, the latest in a series of terse encounters between the regional rivals and NATO allies.
The Greek navy said the Turkish merchantman ship had "approached and touched" one of its gunboats, which was taking part in a NATO exercise.

"Nobody was hurt and no serious damage was caused," it added.
