“The US is equipping Greece with F-16s and F-35s and not even giving Turkey F-16s”
Turkish analysts comment that “the balance between Greece and Turkey is changing”
Naim Baburoglu, a professor at Istanbul Laidin University, said: “Turkey justifiably says the following: in 2028 you will give Greece the F-35s, and you also have no reservations and objections regarding the Greek F-16s.”
Haber Turk anchor Dilek Gul reported: “They are arming the other side and that is serious.”
Baburoglu said: “But they’re already doing it and they’re changing the balance. They’re changing the battle balance, the power balance. Not that we are talking about a war between Turkey and Greece, but this balance is within the framework of a country’s national security. That’s why Turkey says, “Give us the 40 F-16s and the 79 F-16 modernization kits.”
Ozjat Tikit, Anadolu’s foreign policy adviser, said: “Where we used to talk about F-35s now we ended up talking about F-16s. Indeed, we are discussing them and waiting for them from 2021. It is a process that is already delayed. The US government says that it wants to grant the F-16s, on the other hand, it emphasizes that there is also Congress and that it should not interfere. However, this is also the case in Turkey, Erdogan approved the issue of Sweden, but the Parliament exists.”
Shock in Turkey from the lifting of the embargo on the sale of Eurofighter to Saudi Arabia
“They veto the sale of Eurofighter fighters to Turkey and give them to the Saudis”
The TV network A HABER reported: “Germany will lift the veto it has been applying for 6 years regarding the sale of of Eurofighter fighters in Saudi Arabia. The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Germany, Analena Berbock, announced that the country is not against the sale of the specific fighters. Now all eyes are on what decision he will make regarding Turkey.
Now everyone is waiting for Germany’s decision regarding Turkey. As Turkey wants to acquire the Eurofighters which are manufactured by the consortium of Germany, Spain, Italy and Great Britain. Turkey’s Defense Minister Yasar Güler had stated that Spain and Great Britain said yes, now we are trying to convince Germany. However, it is not clear what step Germany will take, which has decided to lift the veto in Saudi Arabia.”
The CNN TURK network reported: “There is an important news. In 2018, Germany stopped arms sales to Saudi Arabia after the murder of journalist Khashoggi. But now Germany has given the ‘green light’ to the sale of Eurofighters. The German Foreign Minister cites as an excuse that Saudi Arabia is preventing the Houthis from launching missiles against Israel.”
