Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis sent the message that “approaches are enforced and that illusions are not allowed” regarding Greece-Turkey relations, in his speech during the ceremony of receiving the three new Romeo MH-60R Seahawk anti-submarine helicopters from the Navy.
“Despite the calm that now prevails in the Aegean, we must not forget that the neighbors from the East are also accelerating their own armament program. Approaches are therefore imposed, but under no circumstances are illusions allowed, and we must all be open-minded but never naive, staying focused on the compass that points to international law, peace and cooperation,” said the prime minister.
Mr. Mitsotakis added that “these helicopters enhance their value in times when geopolitical instability in the region is unfortunately intensifying”.
It is recalled that today the Navy received three new Romeo MH-60R Seahawk helicopters at the Kotroni Air Base in Marathon.
Defense Minister Nikos Dendias, for his part, said the following in his post: “Today, at the ceremony, in the presence of Kyriakos Mitsotakis at the Naval Base in Marathon, we receive the new MH-60 ROMEO helicopters. Greece even stronger!”.
