Ok,what's it to you?

You will find out soon enough, the Armenians found out too trying to open up two fronts against Turkey, "collaborating" with Greece in the Eastern Mediterranean when they have no coastline, let alone the Mediterranean.

What's it to you personally I mean.

Greeks losing their minds, now they are attacking Italy demanding the deal with Bayraktar to partner with Piaggio be cancelled by the EU.

Greece is preparing a dossier to protest Italy's defense agreement with Turkey. Athens is also demanding that its European Union (EU) partners have a say in defense agreements with Turkey.

After Turkey’s efforts to interfere with the Meteor Air-to-Air Missile procurement, Greece is now taking steps against Italy. According to the Greek newspaper Kathimerini, the Greek government has filed a protest file on the grounds that it was not informed in advance about the transfer of Piaggio Aerospace to Baykar.

The news in the Kathimerini newspaper included the following statements regarding the sale of Piaggio Aerospace to BAYKAR: “Italy has acted contrary to the European Union’s regulation numbered 2019/452 and has not informed other EU countries about the foreign investment made in Baykar. The European Commission and other member states consider this situation alarming. Italy’s aim to expand its cooperation with Baykar, especially through large companies such as Leonardo, is also noteworthy.”

And why not? :) When a country is being hostile to you and disputes your sovereign,you do what you have to. Isn't that what Turks say too? "We will do what we have to,to protect our interests"?

What Business is it of Greece now who Italy does business with?

This one is going to be good to see, unlike other states where Greece threatens to use the EU against them, Italy is an EU member and a much higher standing and influential member inside the EU than Greece. Threatening Italy won't have the same effect.
 

This is going to be a very significant month for Turkey depending on how things go.

Öcalan’s call to his group to lay down arms is expected to come this month, marking the anniversary of his capture.

Depending on the events and what he announces, I think Turkey will either settle this diplomatically and the PKK will dissolve both in Syria, Iraq and elsewhere. Or we will likely see Operations.

Let them troll the Italians, this will start block against them in the EU. A country that cost them money and irritation.

I would be amused if they started harassing the Italians and tried harming Italy's economic and defense interests by trying to block Turkey. It will backfire as that would annoy the Italians and may lead them to retaliate in places the Greeks did not intend.

Its one thing to harass a non EU state with threats about blocking EU relations/ties if they don't obey Greece, its another to threaten another member. A member far bigger than them and far more influential than them. Italy is a Heavyweight inside the EU, definitely a Top 3 state, after Germany and France respectively. Its one of the original founding members of the EU.

The Greeks really think they run the EU or something, they throw around weight that does not belong to them. These little Balkan Minnows really think they can push Italy around. lol
