Greece's Efforts to Block Arms Sales to Turkey Unsuccessful in London as Well
Greek Defense Minister Nikos Dendias failed to secure British support in blocking the potential sale of Eurofighter jets and Meteor missiles to Turkey during his meeting with UK Defense Secretary John Healey in London. Despite expressing Greece's concerns, the British minister reportedly did not provide satisfactory responses, indicating that the deal could proceed. The negotiations between Turkey and the UK for the sale of Eurofighter jets play a crucial role, and if successful, it could lead to the sale of Meteor missiles as well, eliminating any obstacles. Both Turkey and the UK, as non-EU NATO members, seek close collaboration in the defense industry.
