"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, just note the sequence of the following events. On 23 February, the Turkish Minister for Defence announced to the Grand National Assembly that 100 F-15 fighter jets were to be purchased over the next four years at a cost of USD 16 billion. A month later, on 21 March, the Turkish research vessel
carried out illegal research activities on the Greek continental shelf.
On 24 March, the Turkish frigate
entered Greek territorial waters, arriving off Cape Sounion. I believe you know where Cape Sounion and the Temple of Poseidon are and how far it is from there to Athens. As a result of this illegal incursion by the Turkish frigate, the Greek Navy and Air Force were mobilised. I ask you, Commissioner: is it national masochism that Greek pays 3.5% of its gross domestic product on defence spending? That is more than any other Member State. What do you have to say to Turkey about that?"@en1
