Greece and France joint military exercise in response to Turkish aggression
- Written by E.Tsiliopoulos
Greece and France will conduct a major air and naval exercise in the Eastern Mediterranean, and it seems it has already taking place. According to reliable information, this was decided in the telephone communication that the Minister of Defense Nikos Panagiotopoulos had with the French counterpart of Florence Parley. It is unclear at this time whether the Republic of Cyprus will participate in the exercise.
This joint exercise was not planned and was essentially decided as a warning message to Turkey. The response from Paris followed the statement in support of Greece by President Macron himself, which, in fact, he made in Greek.
It is worth noting that Paris has been annoyed by Athens' stance lately. He considered that the Mitsotakis government interrupted or froze the negotiations for the purchase of the latest Belharra frigate technology, which would be accompanied by a defense agreement, according to some information from a defense assistance agreement, in the event of a Greek-Turkish conflict.
Mitsotakis' telephone conversation with President Macron, in combination with the active communication of the active Minister of Defense Nikos Panagiotopoulos with his French counterpart, are aimed at closing the rift that had been created recently in Greek-French relations. And apparently that happened.
