Greek PM dismisses war fears with Türkiye
Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis has said his government does not foresee a military conflict with Türkiye, while stressing that Greece will continue to bolster its defense capabilities to safeguard its sovereignty.
Speaking to Greek media, Mitsotakis dismissed suggestions of an imminent war as unfounded but said Athens has a responsibility to maintain a strong deterrent posture.
“We do not foresee war in any way,” he said. “However, we are obliged to strengthen our deterrent capabilities so that no one even considers challenging Greek sovereignty.”
He emphasized that Greece would not seek approval from other countries for its defense policies, drawing a comparison with Türkiye’s own military decisions.
