No. Peloni: Athens will send a letter to Washington for the purchase of an F-35 squadron

“The prime minister’s meeting with the US president at the White House confirmed the excellent level of Greek-American relations, which are today at their best ever,” said Deputy Government Spokeswoman Aristotle Peloni.

In an interview with SKAI 100.3, Ms. Peloni noted that the Greek Prime Minister at the reception expressed the desire for our country to join the program of fifth generation F-35 fighters and to buy a squadron – but not before in 2028- when there will be the necessary fiscal space.

He explained that the process will soon start from the Greek side with a letter of request to the American authorities, so that the discussion and negotiation of the terms will gradually begin.

Ms. Peloni said that the issue of Turkish provocation was also raised at the meeting, noting, however, that “our historical relations with the United States are not defined in relation to another country.”

“We want dialogue and open channels of communication with Turkey, but such challenges are unacceptable, they are not accepted, and they will have the appropriate response both on the ground and diplomatically,” the deputy government spokeswoman concluded.
