Dimitris Natsios raised the question of what children are taught about October 28, 1940, and how people respond to the 14,000 fallen soldiers. He argued that children should learn the truth about the epic of '40 and grow up with respect for the history of their homeland. #ΝΙΚΗ #ΔημήτρηςΝατσιός #28ηΟκτωβρίου #Παιδεία https://t.co/vdA70eRZkW #28ηΟκτωβρίου #Ιστορία #Παιδεία #GR (translated)

The little wine of Tsu attributed to the general Miltiades the phrase that, before the Battle of Marathon in 490 BC, he told the Athenians that their opponents would have a homeland to return to if they were defeated, while they themselves would have nowhere else to go if they lost. https://t.co/7GrE0WK3kL #ΜάχητουΜαραθώνα #Ιστορία #Ελλάδα (translated)

Aggelos Chorianopoulos wrote that Greece could not respond to already formed developments only with announcements. He argued that the extension of territorial waters and credible hard power was now the only way out. He referred to an article about the 12 miles, the Turkey-Libya memorandum, the "Blue Homeland," and the end of the strategy of waiting. https://t.co/7UOBkaTBp5 #Ελλάδα #ΧωρικάΥδατα #ΔιεθνείςΣχέσεις (translated)

FLORENTIA stated that Turkey selectively used international law to contest the influence of the Greek islands and to claim greater control in the Eastern Mediterranean. She wrote that Kastellorizo had a crucial position, as it, according to her, connected the Greek and Cypriot Exclusive Economic Zones, and claimed that Ankara aimed to place Turkish continental shelf between Greece and Cyprus. Regarding Cyprus, FLORENTIA mentioned that Turkey argued to the west of the island that it was not entitled to a continental shelf, while to the east and south it invoked the rights of islands and signed delimitation agreements with the entity it referred to as a "pseudo-state." According to the post, these moves aimed to involve energy companies with the Turkish Cypriot side and to use natural gas as a means of pressure. FLORENTIA linked Turkish claims to the Turkey-Libya Memorandum and the doctrine of "Blue Homeland," arguing that the goal was for Turkey to gain a regulatory role in pipelines, cables, and investments towards Europe. She also criticized what she described as the contradiction between Turkey's non-accession to the UNCLOS and the invocation of judicial decisions based on it. Finally, she noted that an official European map showed a maritime zone between Crete, Kastellorizo, and Cyprus, which, according to her, Turkey presented as disputed. #Καστελόριζο #ΔιεθνέςΔίκαιο #Γεωπολιτική (translated)

Ο Aggelos Chorianopoulos έγραψε ότι η Ελλάδα σύντομα θα αντιμετώπιζε ταυτόχρονα, όπως υποστήριξε, την προσπάθεια της Τουρκίας να νομιμοποιήσει τη «Γαλάζια Πατρίδα», την παρουσία τουρκικού πολεμικού ναυτικού νότια της Κρήτης για την προστασία της Λιβύης, την παρεμπόδιση ερευνών για το GSI και τουρκικές NAVTEX που χαρακτήρισε παράνομες. Ως απάντηση, πρότεινε επέκταση των ελληνικών χωρικών υδάτων στα 12 ναυτικά μίλια και χρήση στρατιωτικής ισχύος για την προστασία των νόμιμων συμφερόντων της χώρας. Πρόσθεσε ότι, αν η Τουρκία οδηγούσε την κατάσταση στα άκρα, η Ελλάδα θα έπρεπε να εκπληρώσει το ιστορικό της καθήκον, το οποίο, κατά τον ίδιο, δεν είχε εκπληρώσει στην Κύπρο το 1974 και στα Ίμια το 1996. Ο Chorianopoulos υποστήριξε ακόμη ότι η διεθνής κοινότητα του δυτικού κόσμου θα στήριζε την Ελλάδα, την οποία φαντάστηκε νικήτρια στο πεδίο. Εκτίμησε επίσης ότι η Ευρώπη είχε δώσει το πράσινο φως για άμεση επέκταση των χωρικών υδάτων στα 12 ναυτικά μίλια σε όλη την περιοχή της Κρήτης. #Ελλάδα #Τουρκία #ΝαυτικήΔύναμη

The author asked the EU to respond immediately and strictly to Libya. He argued that the ratification of the Turkish-Libyan memorandum by the Libyan parliament grossly violated International Law and the sovereign rights of Greece. https://t.co/qo9qddAPCc #ΔιεθνέςΔίκαιο #Λιβύη #ΕΕ #GR #LY #TR (translated)

The validation of the Turkish-Libyan memorandum by the Parliament of Eastern Libya is a diplomatic victory for Turkey and a significant blow to the Greek strategy in the Eastern Mediterranean, reinforcing the "Blue Homeland" policy and influencing the negotiations for the Great Sea Interconnector (GSI). #ΤουρκολιβυκόΜνημόνιο #ΓαλάζιαΠατρίδα #ΑνατολικήΜεσόγειος (translated)

Nikos Appelaios II argued that the ratification of the Turkey-Libya memorandum by the eastern Libya parliament, following its ratification by the western Libya parliament in 2019, would provoke diplomatic reactions and strengthen Turkish activity in the eastern Mediterranean. He estimated that energy and bilateral relations would be affected, without changing Greece's legal position. He noted that Greece, Egypt, Cyprus, Israel, and the EU were expected to reiterate that the memorandum is null and produces no legal effects against third countries, as, in his view, it disregards the rights of Greek islands, especially Crete, based on UNCLOS. He added that verbal notes and coordinated European and international positions would be significant. Appelaios called on Athens to intensify pressure on Libya for the delimitation of maritime zones or to finalize the Greece-Egypt agreement of 2020, which, he noted, overlaps with Turkish-Libyan claims. He estimated that Turkey could interpret the ratification as a "green light" for further seismic surveys, geophysical studies, or drilling in the contested areas, as well as for increased naval presence and pressure to accept its claims. According to him, such moves would increase the risk of incidents. He characterized the ratification as a blow to the Greece-Cyprus-Israel axis and said it would complicate Greek research south of Crete. He mentioned that Libya had already reacted to the surveys since August, with a verbal note and a threat to freeze talks. He also estimated that Turkey would seek to exploit the now united Libyan position as leverage for multilateral negotiations. He predicted further rapprochement between Haftar and Turkey at economic, political, and possibly military levels, following the lifting of the 2020 boycott. According to him, this could alter the balance in eastern Libya and have serious implications for cooperation with Greece and Egypt. He clarified that the ratification would not resolve Libya's internal divisions nor would it automatically confer international legitimacy on the memorandum against third parties, but would politically strengthen Turkey and complicate Greek diplomacy. He added that Greece's legal position remained strong and that any potential escalation would depend on Turkish actions and the Greek response. Finally, he criticized the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, stating that it had not acted in a timely manner, and mentioned that if he were prime minister, he would have already requested the resignation of George Gerapetritis. #Λιβύη #ΕλληνικήΔιπλωματία #ΑνατολικήΜεσόγειος (translated)

The prime minister stated that the Institute of Informatics and Telecommunications of EKEFE "Demokritos" has acquired a new, spacious, and functional building today, describing the development as the realization of an ambitious plan. According to him, the building reflected the dynamics of innovation in Greece and the government's expectations for the era of artificial intelligence. He added that artificial intelligence was transforming knowledge, production, and labor, while it could help the public sector become more efficient, businesses increase their productivity, and younger generations create under new terms. https://t.co/83f7IINW9U #καινοτομία #τεχνητήνοημοσύνη #Ελλάδα (translated)

Constantinos Bogdanos referred to images of assimilation from France, to second and third generation immigrants who loved their new homeland, to the moderation of Islam, and to grateful refugees. He wrote that these, in his opinion, justified the Greek rulers, who had filled Greece with such settlers. https://t.co/fqTD37xTEz #Μετανάστευση #Πολιτισμός #Ελλάδα (translated)

Alexis Tsipras stated that the Greek Left Coalition (EL.AS.) was created within society and not in Parliament or behind closed party doors. He said that the effort continued with its own forces, without state funding and with meetings all over Greece. He claimed that the creation of EL.AS. overturned plans and that the need for its establishment was becoming increasingly apparent. He described the rising costs as an "invisible memorandum" that, he said, burdened expenses on fuel, food, and living, primarily affecting those who were not favored. He added that the government's narrative about stability and a third term was not convincing. Tsipras said that EL.AS. was facing attacks, which it would meet calmly, and that its goal was to address the problems of Greek society and propose alternative solutions. He characterized the government as its only opponent, accusing it of creating the problems. Referring to the meeting of the Political Committee, he said the message was for EL.AS. to continue with its own political identity and clear program, aiming for a progressive government with itself as a core. He called for the creation of a winning current and stated that the effort would focus on combating corruption, inequalities, rising costs, and uncertainty. #ΕΛΑΣ #Αριστερά #Πολιτική (translated)

Dimitris Savvidis wrote that the Dutch would not tolerate for a single second being labeled by an ambassador, in a television show, as spoiled and lazy, and compared to dogs that urinate without being scolded. He contrasted this with the fact that in Greece, the politician to whom he referred with a derogatory label and other ministers rushed to have their photo taken with her. #Γκιμπερλι #Ολλανδία #πολιτική #κοινωνία (translated)
