So they issue a NOTAM covering a large portion of the Aegean, including parts of the island of Limnos for a period of 10 months. Greece takes this to NATO and ICAO and the next day the Turkish govt quietly withdraws.

Wtf just happened here?

It just goes to show what somebody "BIG" can do where NATO is concerned. Pity "BIG" didn't tell Turkey to quit sniffing around Cyprus for gas.
