When a huge deal with France for the purchase of aircraft and frigates was announced, joys and festivities followed. The main argument was, "We caught Turkey sleeping, now Greece is arming and we have informed Turkey of its border, it can no longer make a sound".

A few voices saying that this is not true because Turkey would react were not heard during the celebrations.
The common thought of these unheard voices was that "if we start a frenzied arms competition, the country will sink economically and socially".

First, the allegation that Spain is violating EU "solidarity" and committing "immorality" is ridiculous.
Because this country does not do more than all the arms-producing countries do.

Did the Greek government really take action against Germany, which generously sold weapons to Turkey?

Secondly, the statement that the Spanish Prime Minister, who is currently selling weapons to Turkey, is doing this because he is a "socialist" is ridiculous.

Yes, all government parrots are voicing this, like our government spokesperson.
Ms Merkel is doing the same with Sanchez, but is Merkel a socialist?

They certainly know that ideological reasons and of course the ethical dimension are not obstacles in commercial relations.

Speaking of "socialist" Sanchez, do our government spokespersons Oikonomou and Adonis really know that the Turkey-Spain arms deal started with the right-wing government?

So in reality, isn't the Mitsotakis government not in good cooperation with the Egyptian dictator Al Sisi?
Indeed, why does it send Greek armed forces and weapons to Arab countries with theocratic and oppressive regimes competing with Turkey?
So how "ethical" is that?

Let our government stop hypocrisy.
The deal with France may be "necessary", but it will not go unanswered on the other side.
And as the Spain-Turkey deal shows, as long as Turkey is willing to buy weapons - even in the European Union - it is not "isolated" at all!

We bought planes and frigates, Turkey is building/buying aircraft carriers.
So what do we do next?
Are we going to order a nuclear bomb?
The destructive arms race is not the only way out of our relations with Turkey.
Greece has every reason to seek reconciliation.

Maybe The Hague could be the chance of the solution.
If only.
Because only then will tensions decrease.
And only then will Greece need to buy less equipment from Macron and not force Turkey to buy weapons from Merkel and Sanchez.

Only then can the two countries live better and more comfortably.
And this is not cheap "pacifism".
It is a recommendation for a realistic solution.
