Alexandros Itimoudis wrote that he had read opinions from Turks and some in Greece in favor of applying "hard power" in Libya, while he used an offensive label for the Turks. He asked when Turkey had demonstrated such power south of Crete and mentioned two examples: in 2020 in the Aegean, where, he claimed, the frigate "Kemal Reis" left with a large hole, and in Al Wandiyah, where, according to him, Turkish forces were bombed by warplanes. He concluded that Greece should exercise the 12 nautical miles, stating that then hard power would be demonstrated in practice. #Ελλάδα #Τουρκία #Λιβύη (translated)

Nikolas Apelaios II described the days leading up to the Italian attack on Greece, from October 23 to 27, 1940, stating that the Greek ambassador in Rome had informed the government that the attack was expected between October 25 and 28. According to him, Italian reconnaissance aircraft were photographing military points of interest, while senior Greek officials considered the attack imminent. Apelaios reported that on October 24, Ioannis Metaxas recorded in his diary rumors of an attack the next day and informed the chiefs of staff to remain in Athens or to notify where they were. On October 25, according to the post, Metaxas informed the Cabinet about the concentration of Italian troops at the border, and the government rejected both substantial territorial concessions and symbolic gestures toward Italy. He noted that Metaxas and his ministers did not attend the premiere of the opera "Madama Butterfly" at the Royal Theater on October 25, in the presence of Antonio Puccini and Curzio Malaparte. From the government, as he wrote, Deputy Foreign Minister Mavroudis and Deputy Minister of Press Nikolidis attended. The next day, Ambassador Politis reported that the Athens–Rome airline had been suspended until further notice. In his narrative, at the reception of the Italian embassy on October 26, Ambassador Grazzi was often absent, while on the upper floor the ultimatum to Greece was being dictated from Rome. Nikolidis called Metaxas early on October 27 regarding reports of incidents at the border. Apelaios noted that the Athens News Agency denied the news at 04:00, following an order from Metaxas. Apelaios also wrote that, on October 27, Greek and Italian officers met to discuss the incidents, while the Greek government was receiving information about the movements of Italian units towards the border. He added that shortly after Metaxas left his office, information arrived from the Italian embassy that a declaration of war was imminent, but it was decided not to inform him. According to him, the Prime Minister's car departed for Kifisia without him knowing the information. #Ιστορία #Ελλάδα #ΔεύτεροςΠαγκόσμιοςΠόλεμος (translated)

FLORENTIA argued that archaeological findings indicated the movement of Minoans beyond the Aegean, to the highlands of Anatolia. She compared Minoan Civilization with the Kingdom of Urartu, which she placed in the 9th to 7th century BC, and mentioned similarities in economy, technology, and worship. Referring to excavations, among others at Garibin Tepe, she said that Urartian ritual vessels, containers, and rhyta exhibited similarities with the Minoan ones. She added that the bull had a central symbolic role in both cultures and associated Minoan worship with the worship of the Urartian god Haldi. FLORENTIA also mentioned that both societies possessed palatial or fortified structures under the control of a priestly or royal elite, while public rituals were part of daily life. She also presented as common elements the central control of goods such as wheat, wine, and oil, as well as the use of clay seals. In the management of water, she compared the Minoan networks with the Menawa Canal, which she stated was 30 miles long, and with the rock-cut reservoirs of Urartu. Finally, she compared the collapse of Minoan centers and the disappearance of Linear A with the burning of Urartian fortifications and the loss of cuneiform writing. She suggested the possibility that the Urartians maintained elements of an older Aegean tradition of mysteries and techniques, rather than being influenced solely by the Assyrians, and announced that she would return with more details. #Αρχαιολογία #ΜινωικόςΠολιτισμός #ΟυραρτικόςΠολιτισμός (translated)

Andreas Stalidis argued that 808 significant violations of the Prespa Agreement had been recorded by the authorities of Northern Macedonia, while in practice, he said, there were many more. He cited examples such as the country's president having sworn in as president of "Macedonia" and that both she and the prime minister had issued dozens of statements under that title. Stalidis also referred to a photo of the president of the "Macedonian Academy" and the consul in Canada, whom he said appeared to be dancing with the Vergina flag in front of a map of "Greater Macedonia" that included Greek territories. He added that the violations had been highlighted for years through questions in Europe, a bill proposal in the Parliament, and public interventions, without, in his opinion, any substantial mobilization. Referring to an official protest by the Greek embassy to the authorities of Northern Macedonia after a banner with the Vergina flag and an irredentist map was displayed at a basketball game, Stalidis said that the intervention was correct, but questioned why it was done so late and if it was related to the elections. He called on the government to abolish the Prespa Agreement and to bring the bill proposal to the Plenary, which, he mentioned, had been submitted and remained in the Parliament for 21 months. #ΣυμφωνίαΠρεσπών #Μακεδονία #Ελλάδα (translated)
