Many bases in Greece are the scene of the movement of US soldiers.
The Greek media wrote that a large number of helicopters, UAVs, tanks, artillery and heavy weapons will be shipped from the USA to Alexandroupolis Port last year, and it was emphasized that the supply was "unprecedented until now".
The New York Times newspaper also drew attention to the fact that Alexandroupoli has become the weapon center of the USA.
US military build-up increased 14 times
It was announced that the military material transported by the USA over Alexandroupoli increased 14 times last year, reaching 3.100 "pieces". This year, it was emphasized that this figure has already been reached.
US military buildup on Alexandroupoli
It was stated that the port city in northeastern Greece plays a central role in increasing the US military presence in Eastern Europe.
It was stated that this step, taken by the Pentagon with "enormous arsenals", was carried out as part of efforts to control Russia's "aggression" in the region.
"Fear of Türkiye brought Washington closer"
"Fear of Turkey and solidarity with Ukraine brought Greece closer to Washington. Greece gave the United States expanded military access in several places," the report said.
Welcome to Greece!
Explaining that this situation caused not only Russia but also Türkiye's reaction, "The increase in military activities was welcomed by the Greek government." it was said.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan reacted to the military activity in the region.
Erdogan's words reminded
In the article Erdogan's "Who are they set up against?" The answer to the question "against Russia" and Erdogan's reaction to this answer as "we don’t believe it" were reminded.
On the other hand, it was pointed out that most of the NATO members sided with Ukraine, while Erdogan was "always willing to take a different path" and therefore positioned Türkiye as a mediator.
