The specific movements of Athens and Paris that change the data in the eastern Mediterranean – How Macron implements his commitments to Mitsotakis – The decisive actions of Panagiotopoulos
With a basic strategy of continuous diplomatic cooperation and operational readiness and determination Faced with the aggressive practices of Turkey, Greece and France are determined to deepen their defense relations.
With methodical movements and without drumbeats, Athens and Paris advance rapidly in a series of joint actions with multiple benefits for both countries.
The supply of the powerful French frigates Belh @ rra may have been “frozen” for the time being and the signing of the military agreement (mutual assistance clause) may not be a priority on the bilateral contacts agenda, however Mitsotakis and Macron create a collaboration on a very solid foundation that is constantly being strengthened.
France’s participation in the major aeronautical exercise “MEDUSA 10”, to be held in the maritime zone off Cairo next week, with the participation of Greece, Cyprus, Egypt and the Emirates, is a typical example of the intentions of Paris for intense presence in the eastern Mediterranean and strengthening of relations with Greece and Cyprus.
At the same time, the excellent relations developed by the Minister of Defense Mr. Nikos Panagiotopoulos with his French counterpart, Florence Parley continually bears fruit, both in the weapons programs in which Rafale is ready to compete at Tanagra airport, and in other mutual military support.
In this context, Panagiotopoulos and Parley are said to have agreed improvement and strengthening of the presence of the Armed Forces in Mali, where a French-led European education operation is underway. In fact, Athens and Paris are talking about increased Greek presence there, where two Army officers are currently deployed, in order to place a small group of special forces there.
We remind you that after the agreement to acquire a squad of powerful combatants Rafale 4.5 generation and decisions in support of 25 Mirage 2000-5, Mr. Nikos Panagiotopoulos announced that Greece is moving forward with Updated French-made Sperwer UAVs.
End, An extremely important advance is that from GEETHA it was decided that Greece would send an officer to the Interdisciplinary Higher School of War of the French Armed Forces. The initial decision of the Greek “Pentagon” was to send an officer to the French War College, however the French suggested that the Greek officer go up a higher level and study at the French Interdisciplinary War College of the French Armed Forces . The objective is to increase the number of executives who will participate in the coming years.
Specific movements in Athens and Paris provoke nervous breakdown in Erdogan and the Turkish regime, as France strengthens its presence in the Mediterranean and enters an obstacle to the “sultan’s” plans in both North Africa and the eastern Mediterranean.
All this at a time when the European Union is finally determined to impose sanctions on Ankara for its aggressive actions against Greece and Cyprus, and while eagerly awaiting the attitude of the new American leadership, led by President Biden.
