TURKEY'S DEFENSE MOVES CAUSE CONCERN IN GREECE Turkey's steps to further strengthen its navy with the Meteor missiles and Eurofighter fighter jets it plans to purchase from France have created a panic atmosphere in Greece. The Athens media described the increasing activity of the Turkish Navy in the Aegean as a "threat to sovereignty."
THE PRESENCE OF THE TURKISH NAVY IN THE AEGEAN IS EXPANDING Steps taken in the national defense industry and technological procurements are increasing Turkey's deterrence in the Aegean. The Greek press is monitoring these developments at an alarm level.
METEOR MISSILES AND EUROFIGHTERS ON THE AGENDA Sources from the Ministry of National Defense indicate that Turkey is making progress in procuring modern missile systems and fighter jets with high maneuverability. The long-range engagement capacity of the Meteor missiles, in particular, has caused deep concern in Athens.
