The Greek parliament approved by a wide majority vote on Wednesday a draft law founding a defense innovation center in the Armed Forces, among other issues.

The allocation of an additional sum of  10.3 million euros for the completion of additional work and the full operational performance of Hellenic Navy submarines, the rectification of damage resulting from ongoing tests and the maintenance of escort ships required for the completion of the submarine tests, is included in an amendment of the Ministry of National Defense to the draft law of the Ministry of Justice entitled "Code of Judicial Officers".

Turkey plans to deploy 11 submarines between March 10 to 20 covering an area from the Dardanelles Straits and reaching across the entire Aegean Sea including Crete until the Ionian Sea between Kafalonia and Zakynthos in the framework of a military exercise, according to Greek military site militaire.gr.
