An attack on the government on the issue of the supply and upgrade of American F-16s from Turkey

SYRIZA-PS launches an attack on the government on the issue of the supply and upgrade of American F-16s from Turkey with its announcement.

In his statement he says: “The US Government’s request to Congress to sell 40 modernized F-16s, 900 air-to-air missiles and 800 bombs to Turkey, as well as to modernize 79 F-16s, highlights the colossal failure of its policy” loyal and given ally” of Mr. Mitsotakis”.

He then argues: “It is not possible to give land and water, to not claim anything from your government, and then to rely exclusively on the – valuable – efforts of Senator Menendez and the expatriate to defend the interests of the country. Moreover, instead of Mr. Mitsotakis making every effort to prevent these developments, he had Mr. Syrigos prepare public opinion. The dangerous foreign policy of the Government has increasingly unfavorable consequences for Greek interests”.

Concluding, he underlines: “At least it should be made clear that Greece rejects the unacceptable trade-off between the sale of F16s to Turkey – which will violate the national airspace every day – and the eventual purchase of F35s from our country.”
