Greece boosting military, seeking support from European allies to counter NATO ally and rival Turkey

Описание: Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis thanked French President Emmanuel Macron on Monday, September 12 for supporting Greece's stance on Turkey, and said Athens will be "always open to dialogue and discussion".
 
The meeting came as relations with Greece's historic regional rival Turkey have hit a new low, following repeated, thinly-veiled threats from Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan that his country might invade Greece's eastern Aegean Sea islands.
 
On the same day, Greek Air Force took delivery of a first pair of upgraded F-16 military jets, part of a 1.5 billion USD programme to modernize its fighter fleet amid increasing tensions with neighbouring Turkey.
 
The two NATO allies are also at odds over offshore gas and oil rights and their fighter jets routinely
intercept each other or engage in simulated dogfights over the Aegean Sea.
