Defence Minister Nikos Dendias on Wednesday expressed “Greece’s strong opposition to the possible sale of METEOR missiles to Turkiye, by a consortium in which France participates,” in a meeting on Wednesday with the French Ambassador to Greece Laurence Auer.
In a post on X, Dendias noted that such a possibility “does not align with the up-to-now excellent strategic relations between the two countries.”
“After being informed by Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis and Foreign Minister George Gerapetritis, I met today at the Ministry of National Defence with the Ambassador of France, Laurence Auer,” Dendias said.
“I asked,” he added, “for an official briefing regarding the reports concerning the sale of METEOR missiles to Turkiye by a consortium in which France participates.”
