MOSCOW (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 26th October, 2020) Athens is concerned by arms supply to Turkey, as these weapons are used to destabilize all regional countries, Greek Foreign Minister Nikos Dendias said on Monday following a meeting with his Russian counterpart, Sergey Lavrov.
"Unfortunately, in all the cases that we discussed, the common denominator was the destabilizing role of Turkey, its neo-Ottoman expansionist views.
In this context, I discussed the problem of arms supplies to Turkey with my colleague [Lavrov] and the fact that these weapons are destabilizing all countries in the region," Dendias said during a press conference in Athens.
The top Greek diplomat added that Lavrov had informed him about Russia's perception of the situation in Syria and Libya.�
Earlier in October, Greece asked the European Union member states to halt exports of military equipment to Turkey.
