Greek Foreign Minister George Gerapetritis has stated that there is currently "no question" of the United States lifting restrictions on Turkey's access to the F-35 fighter jet program. His comments were made during a parliamentary session, addressing speculation regarding potential defense concessions from U.S. President Donald Trump that could allow Turkey to purchase the advanced aircraft.
Gerapetritis emphasized that the Greek-American relationship is stronger than ever, reaffirming Greece's commitment to its national rights and its ongoing support for these interests. He also categorically dismissed reports about any possible changes in the U.S. policy towards Turkey in relation to F-35 sales, characterizing the claims as "rumors" without basis.
These remarks come amidst heightened scrutiny and concern from the Greek government regarding Turkey's military capabilities and ambitions. The Foreign Minister's reassurances reflect Greece's strategic focus on maintaining strong diplomatic ties with the United States while ensuring that its own defense priorities are safeguarded.
