“We support the agreements for the purchase of Rafale aircraft and Belharra frigates, as we also supported the Hellenic-French Defense Agreement, in order to have all the means to safeguard our sovereign rights,” said in a statement the president of PASOK – Movement for Change, Nikos Androulas for the purchase agreements of Rafale aircraft and Belharra frigates.
Mr. Androulakis pointed out: “But the mistakes of the past must not be repeated. We must take the next step and create the conditions for the development of the domestic defense industry with co-productions, but also transfer of know-how.
The country must not only consume, but also produce, in order to create added value for both our economy and the armed forces.
Europe must protect its citizens and its Member States. It is inconceivable at the same time that Greece has the highest defense budget as a percentage of GDP in the Union, that other European countries continue to equip Turkey, which threatens the sovereign rights of our country. The European Parliament, as early as September 2020, has called for the imposition of an arms embargo on Turkey. It is time to discuss the issue in the Council as well, so that all countries can be held accountable. “The protection of the Greek borders is not only a Greek issue, it is also a European issue.”
