Currently it's only in greek. Quite soon we'll have an english version for sure.

Briefly, it's the 1st time Greece participates in this exercise, which thus far has been exclusively conducted between USA and Israel. It includes: 8 surface vessels, 2 submarines and various choppers and aircraft.

The exercise will be held south of our easternmost territories, the Castellorizo/Megisti island complex (see map below) and it's going to expand towards Souda and Haifa.

It was reported like this by a major Greek paper.

Στο πλαίσιο αυτό επίσκεψη στο Γενικό Επιτελείο Στρατού πραγματοποίησε ο επικεφαλής των Ειδικών Δυνάμεων του Ισραήλ.

Sends a message to Turkey I guess.

Policy apart we forget that these are quite useful EXERCISES like SAR etc

What agreesive position? also Ilker basbug is retired.

Common, basically once a week Turkey either threatens Greece via airspace or naval intervention within Aegean sea. Including threatning Greece If we dig for petrol within our own lands and sea. Soooo who are you trying to fool?

By "disputed positions" you mean the occupied part of the Republic of Cyprus?

Yes, because its disputed believe it or not.

They actually just took down the sign outside of the gate, but I don't mind that they're showing their dislike with Erdo at all
