"Egemen Bagis, Turkey’s chief negotiator with the European Union, has criticized Germany, along with France, for seeking to sell military equipment to Greece while pressing the government in Athens to make drastic public spending cuts as a result of its dire financial crisis."



Did you expect anything else from the Germans and the French Paul?

Hope they are not paying in Euros...............much better for the franco/deutchlander posse if they took some islands in exchange.

The Greeks are still going with the old chestnut that they need to be armed to protect themselves from Turkey.Why cant they move on,

Vested interest TR in EU all buddy buddy no need for GR to defend itself ergo no arms sales for the French /Germans hits their industry

Set your neighbours against each other feed the fear and enmity good for the business

Plus definition of the Euro" One ring(currency) to bind them all and in the darkness keep them "

So who's the dark lord and will the shire save us all ?

The Frogs will sell to anyone, those of you with short memories think back to the Falklands and exocet.

The South Africans are no better they were the middleman.



The ROC are the worse culprits they were/are the biggest arms dealers in the world.

France may like to offload the "Maginot line" to the Greeks as well.
