His surprise about the announcements of the parties about not informing them of the acquisition of a fourth frigate Belharra was expressed by National Defense Minister Nikos Dendias after the completion of the KYSEA meeting.

Mr Dendias said: “With a very surprise I have noticed in the last two days the announcements of the opposition parties that they did not receive information on the issue of the fourth frigate Belharra.

I think that in my presence both at the Foreign Ministry and the Ministry of National Defense I could probably be accused of excessive information.

The case of the fourth frigate is listed and included in the structure of forces which has passed by the Hellenic Parliamentary Committee, with a possible date of delivery, if the contract is signed.

They are also included in the Medium Term Equipment Program.

I would like to ask the issues of existential parties’ anxiety to stay outside the issues of national defense, national defense is something that we have to agree and talk to.

I have clearly stated to the Hellenic Parliament that I am available to anyone for information. “
