Greece's Concern Over Missile Sale

Greek Defense Minister Nikos Dendias expressed concern to France's Ambassador in Athens, Laurence Auer, over reports of Meteor missile sales to Turkey.

Dendias requested official information from Ambassador Auer regarding the consortium, which includes France, potentially selling Meteor missiles to Turkey. He emphasized that such a possibility does not align with the excellent strategic relationship between the two countries.

The Meteor, a beyond visual range air-to-air missile, is manufactured by the European multinational defense company MBDA, based in France.
