Greece has denied claims by a Turkish defense company that the country has decided to acquire 50 miniature tactical drones, the Greek City Times reported referring to the Greek Defense Ministry.

Greece categorically refutes the rumors and false news from foreign media that the Greek army intends to buy UAVs from Turkish manufacturers, Defense Minister Nikolaos Panayotopoulos noted.

Since the end of May, targeted leaks have been made in foreign and Greek media, but they have not been confirmed or documented by data, the Greek Defense Ministry said in a statement. 

Information disseminated on the Internet, especially from news sites, must be very carefully checked and verified, the statement said.
