Türkiye Today (24 July 2025)

Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said Wednesday that efforts to block the sale of defense weapons to Türkiye are futile, acknowledging Ankara’s growing role as a military power following a landmark Eurofighter Typhoon agreement.

“Türkiye is a large country with a strong defense industry. Anyone who believes they can block the sale of defense weapons to Türkiye is mistaken. That has never happened and it never will,” Mitsotakis said in an interview with SKAI TV.

The remarks came after Türkiye and the United Kingdom signed a memorandum of understanding on July 23 granting Ankara the right to operate Eurofighter Typhoon jets. The agreement followed approval from Germany’s Security Council to sell 40 Eurofighters, clearing the path for Turkish pilots to train and operate the advanced aircraft.
