In the meeting on Confidence Building Measures (CBM) between Greece and Turkey that took place in Athens, sources from the Turkish Ministry of Defense were mentioned. When asked about the details of the meeting, ministry sources noted the following:
“The meeting took place in Athens on April 22, 2024 in a friendly atmosphere. The meeting reviewed the previously agreed mutual activities to be carried out during 2024 and started work on the Implementation Plan for 2025.
In this context, draft activities to be carried out in 2025, nine in Greece and nine in Turkey, were discussed. It was decided that the next meeting will be held in Turkey.
On the other hand, in the context of the previously agreed Implementation Plan for 2024, a delegation from the National Defense University will visit the Greek School of National Defense in June.”
As is the usual practice, the weekly press briefing by the spokesman of the Turkish Ministry of Defense, Rear Admiral Zeki Akturk, is followed by reports attributed to answers of “sources” to journalistic questions in the context of the same briefing.
