Negotiations between Greece and the United States are ongoing concerning the establishment of new military bases on Greek territory, according to reports from Greek media. These talks are part of a broader bilateral military cooperation agreement between the two countries.
Athens aims to persuade Washington to station military bases on several Aegean islands, framing this move as a defensive measure against Turkish territorial claims in the region.

The Americans show particular interest in the Petrochori training ground near Xanthi, where NATO troops frequently conduct exercises. This facility is also known to Bulgarian special forces, who have participated in joint drills there.
