During the press conference, Mitsotakis was asked if there were plans to set up a US military base at Alexandroupolis, similar to the base of the Court in Crete, as part of the Greek defense cooperation agreement with the United States.
"Not.
How the United States can use it is clearly defined in the framework of a bilateral agreement on defense cooperation, ”RIA Novosti quotes the response of the prime minister.
The agency recalls that under the new defense agreement with Greece, which was signed on October 14, 2021, the United States received several new military bases, including the port of Alexandroupolis, as well as a military camp next to it.
In May, the Greek authorities decided to extend for five years an agreement that gives the United States the opportunity to use military bases on Greek territory.
