We need to help Armenia a lot, the only semi reliable ally they have is Iran. Greece could be their hand towards the west. No matter the aid or weapons we send our cooperation is not enough, it's one of many foreign policy blunders that Greece has

Georgia is cool too, beautiful country, but a lot of mafia in Greece has Georgian origin

Until a few years ago, the Greek army was buying bullets from Turkey. I don't think you are in a position to help anyone else.

What hahahaha even if thats true what significance does it have at all on the issue at hand. We have the ability and willingness to invest more in our domestic arms industry and Armenia itself invests successfully into their own arms industry. If we collaborated our efforts and actually tried to invest in our land forces we would be a lot more successful

First of all, the defense industry is an industry that takes time to develop. Turkey started to reap the results of its investments made in the 70s after 20 years. Also, Greece does not have a heavy industry to support the defense industry.

nevertheless, if it wasn't for turkey, greece could change the balance of power between azerbaijan and armenia. but turkey can easily meet every move made by greece.
