Periskopi(5 years ago)
(5 years ago)Turkish media quoted domestic sources as claiming that France is itself pressing tensions between Turkey and Greece in order to sell weapons to the latter. According to sources in question, the goal of official Paris is to compensate for loss by pact AU KUS, who removed the billions of dollars of submarine deals with Australia from his hands. [...]
Otherwise, Turkey and Greece have long been tense since the start of oil research by Turks in the Mediterranean Sea.
Meanwhile, France now has poor relations with its allies, Australia, Britain and the U.S. since an Australian-based sub agreement was broken.
Australia has defended its decision to break its agreement with France on submarines, in favour of a new US security pact and the United Kingdom.
Foreign media report that Prime Minister Scott Morrison dismissed France's accusations that Australia had lied, saying France should be aware that it was prepared to break the deal.
France says the Aukus pact has led to a serious “crisis” among allies.
In an unprecedented move, she has withdrawn her ambassadors from the US and Australia in protest.
According to the Aukus Pact, Australia will be given technology to build nuclear-power submarines as a way to combat China's impact on the opposing South China Sea.
