Greece Strengthening Ties with Israel since It Doesn't Expect NATO Support Against Turkey
(i24News) Yulia Pobegailova - European affairs analyst Yannis Koutsomitis told i24News, "Greece does not expect any NATO support in case Turkey makes an aggression against Greece. This is why it's pursuing military ties to friendly countries like Israel. Greece should defend itself with its own resources and also with friends. We've seen in the past, when Turkey invaded Cyprus, there was no support from other NATO countries." "Greece is strengthening its ties with the Israeli military" in reaction to an increasingly belligerent Ankara. "Greece is responding by procuring these high-technology anti-missile and anti-drone systems." Greece is also concerned about the missile and drone capabilities of Iran and its regional proxies, including Hizbullah in Lebanon. "Greece is facing a two-sided threat, both from Turkey and also from Iran and its proxies in the region."
