from The Greek Current · host Hellenic Leaders
A story that's been in and out of the headlines in Greece lately has to do with France and the potential sale of Meteor missiles to Turkey. While the story is putting Greece’s relations with France and other EU partners in the spotlight, it also raises questions about European arms sales to countries like Turkey. This debate comes amid calls for Europe to spend much more on its own defence, something Prime Minister Mitsotakis weighed in on with a recent Financial Times op-ed. Vassilis Nedos, Kathimerini’s diplomatic and defense editor, joins Thanos Davelis with the backstory on this potential arms sale to Ankara, while looking into the broader debate on European defense.
