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)

The e-Amyna reported that Turkey disputed Greece's jurisdiction to issue NAVTEX for international waters south of Kastellorizo, issuing a related announcement from the Antalya station. It interpreted the move as a possible prelude to the Turkish stance regarding the expected research activities of the GSI. According to the post, the Heraklion station had issued a NAVTEX the previous day for the "EUNOMIA" live-fire exercise on October 19, in the same maritime area. The Antalya announcement, issued the next morning, claimed that the area fell under its jurisdiction and that the Greek station was unauthorized. e-Amyna noted that the area was located along the route of the Greece-Cyprus-Israel electricity interconnection (GSI) and that the research vessel Abeille Marengo was expected to pass through there when the NAVTEX for the activities was issued. https://t.co/0NpV9YsKru #Ναυτιλία #Ελλάδα #Τουρκία (translated)

Chris Avramidis stated that he asked the Greek government about reports from the Daily Mail and the Wall Street Journal regarding Ambassador Kimberly Guilfoyle and AKTOR lobbyist Christos Marafatsos. According to what he cited from the Daily Mail, Guilfoyle allegedly requested $250,000 from Greek businessmen to pay off her luxury Mercedes. The Wall Street Journal, as he mentioned, wrote that the paid lobbyist Marafatsos accompanied the ambassador to official government meetings, without the interlocutors always knowing which company he represented. Avramidis said he asked government spokesman Pavlos Marinakis who the businessmen were, whether they had transactions with the public sector, which meetings with ministers the lobbyist participated in, and whether possible conflicts of interest would be checked. According to the journalist, Marinakis replied that the issue did not fall under the government's competencies, accused him of adopting the reports, and referred him to the press offices of the ministries. Avramidis added that the government spokesman said the government could neither dismiss nor adopt the reports. The journalist argued that the questions regarding the lobbyist's meetings with ministers, whether they knew which company he represented, and whether the contacts for potential conflicts of interest would be examined remained unanswered. #Ελλάδα #πολιτική #δημοσιογραφία (translated)
