🔴 Germany goes back on armored vehicle agreement with Greece
>https://archive.is/bBcPO
>https://archive.is/3ZQGB
🔸 It was announced in late jan 2023 that Germany would not fulfill its agreement with Greece of rapidly replacing BMP-1s being sent to Ukraine from Greece with German Marder armored vehicles, because Germany decided to send them to Ukraine instead
⚠️ Germany, had reportedly pressured Greece that in order to receive the rest of the Marder in time, it would have to buy Lynx vehicles (not even tested yet) while simultaneously buying upgrades for the Greek Leopard -2 and 1A5, something Greece did not do and started looking into alternatives, being the French VBCI an option
‼️ Out of the 40 Marder vehicles to be replaced, Greece already received 14, with 6 expected to arrive shortly with the remaining 20 vehicles that should be delivered in the second semester of 2023 most likely not being delivered
🖼 Images: BMP-1, Marder, VBCI, Lynx (still in development)

🔴 Creator of Turkish "blue homeland" accuses Greek search teams of spying on Turkish troops
>https://archive.is/JgMQb
🔸 Cihat Yayci, Erdogan's advisor, accused Greek rescue teams of spying on Turkish bases
🔸 He made completely false accusations against Greek teams working in Turkey after the 1999 earthquake and tried to raise questions regarding the current teams saying they could do the same, rephrasing it after some backlash online
🟢 "I said that this was the case with the Greeks in the earthquake of 1999. This Greek rescue team, when it conducted operations in the area of the Goltzuk fleet base. They were caught taking pictures of the military base. That is, while they were spying. And I said that this should be taken care of. I didn't say we shouldn't praise rescuers, but keep it in the back of our minds. The state must take its measures and it is already taking them"
