00:00When we talk about Greece's defense, it has been redeploying some air defense assets,
00:05which has drawn the ire of your neighbor Turkey in some regards.
00:09It's accused Athens of exploiting the current war to militarize the southeastern Aegean.
00:16How does the Greek government respond to those concerns?
00:19Well, we explained from day one that those deployments were of a defensive nature
00:24against the possible ballistic missile threat from Iran or Hezbollah.
00:30And that would be temporary.
00:32We explained that to NATO as well.
00:34And we think our partners understood that.
00:37Now, almost all of those assets have been returned to their initial positions.
00:43So the problem is no longer there.
00:47Almost all of them?
00:50They have been moved gradually, and eventually all of them will return to their bases.
