Greece should not deploy forces to the Sahel without parliament approval, say SYRIZA MPs

In their joint statement, George Katrougalos, Thodoris Dritsas and Giorgos Tsipras cited an interview by the national defense minister and noted that this deployment may have been decided even before the recent Greece-France strategic defense agreement. Such a dispatch, they pointed out, "is not about military advisers, we already have some there, this is about battle-ready military personnel."

The issue is too important and needs the approval of the Greek Parliament, they stressed.
