ATHENS: Greece is one of Europe's biggest weapons purchasers but despite its economic crisis cannot cut the multi-billion dollar bill without securing a full peace with arch-rival Turkey, analysts said.
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan is to visit Greece next week underscoring progress made in bilateral relations, but Greece is still buying warplanes, submarines and weapons even as it accepts a 110 billion euro international rescue.
A warning to the Greeks to reconsider their priorities came from International Monetary Fund chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn who noted Sunday that military spending would be "clearly reduced" under the bailout.
