According to the Turkish newspaper, Milliyet, the woman’s lawyer already has recourse to the Athens Public Prosecution.

As the Turkish lawyer reported in Milliyet, ” We appealed to Athens Public Prosecution asking to include the captain of the Greek jet in the inquest, as well as the Headquarters of the Hellenic National Defence General Staff. We also claim a compensation of 650,000 euros.”
