After the fall of Bashar al-Assad's regime in Syria, the possibility of Turkey signing a Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) agreement with the new administration has caused great discomfort in Greece.
"WE ARE UNCOMFORTABLE WITH TURKEY'S NEW GAINS IN THE REGION"
Speaking in a television program he attended in his country, Deputy Minister of Defense Yannis Kefalogiannis stated that the "Iron Dome" system, which is planned to be completed by 2026, will be ready by following the steps Turkey will take in the region. Emphasizing that he is uncomfortable with Turkey's new gains in the region, Kefalogiannis said, "We must observe the steps Turkey is taking in the region. Our national interests are not limited to our geographical borders."
"WE WILL TAKE STEPS TO NEUTRALIZE TURKEY"
Expressing that Athens has remained passive in the face of recent developments, the Deputy Minister virtually threatened Turkey. Kefalogiannis stated, "Turkey needs the European Union more than ever. In this context, we will take diplomatic and defense measures to neutralize Turkey."
"LIKE IN 2020, OUR ARMED FORCES WILL BE ACTIVATED"
Pointing out that more resources should be allocated by the European Union for a common defense program, Yannis Kefalogiannis continued his threats towards Turkey, saying, "Like in 2020, our armed forces will be activated."
