FLORENTIA wrote that accounts from a neighboring country dealt with the so-called "gray areas" instead of the natural disaster in their country, which, as noted, had caused human losses and significant material damage. Quoting data attributed to the Geographic Army Service, she stated that 29,372 standalone geographic elements of land had been recorded in Greek territory. She added that the conventional number used by the Greek Tourism Organization and encyclopedias was about 6,000 islands and islets, as it included those exceeding a marginal size. According to her post, 446 had an area of over 1 km², while the permanent population ranged from 117 to 227, depending on the census; the remaining 29,000 or more were uninhabited islets and rocks. FLORENTIA argued that the Treaty of Lausanne defined the limit as 3 miles from the Asian coasts and that, beyond that, the islands and islets of the Aegean were outside Turkish sovereignty. She presented as positions of the accounts she criticized the claims that unmarked areas had "ambiguous" sovereignty, that Turkey's renunciation only concerned the then Great Powers or the Middle East, and that Turkey as the successor of the Ottoman Empire retained territories that had not been explicitly ceded elsewhere. She asserted that these positions had no legal basis and that the reference to island complexes, the 3-mile limit, and Turkey's renunciation based on Article 16 excluded any dispute over Greek sovereignty. She concluded that there was no point in further discussion with these specific accounts and, referring to Sophocles, expressed the view that circumstances should not prevail over justice. #Ελλάδα #ΔιεθνέςΔίκαιο #Γεωπολιτική (translated)

Protest is a legitimate right, but it cannot be used as an excuse for violence, destruction in the city, or ugly clashes in the middle of the street. On the government's side, Deputy Prime Minister Albana Koçiou emphasized that the right to protest cannot justify violence and destruction. #Αλβανία #ΦοιτητικέςΔιαδηλώσεις #Διαφθορά (translated)

FLORENTIA challenged a post about Drama and Serres, which, as she wrote, mentioned 300,000 dead Muslims, coercion of survivors to convert to Christianity, and concealment of events from Europe for 80 years. She characterized these claims as unhistorical and cited the Ottoman census of 1906/1907, according to which the total Muslim population of the Sanjak of Serres, which included Drama, was below 175,000. Regarding the period of the Second Balkan War, in June and July 1913, she stated that the cities were under Bulgarian occupation. She referenced a report by the Carnegie Foundation from 1914, which, as she claimed, recorded that the retreating Bulgarians burned more than 4,000 houses in Serres and killed hundreds of Greek civilians. She added that the Greek Army stopped the destruction and that, based on records from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it had guaranteed by proclamation the safety, property, and religious freedom of all residents. According to her, the Muslims who remained in Macedonia retained their religious rights and their mosques until the Population Exchange. FLORENTIA also stated that, according to the Treaty of Lausanne, approximately 350,000–400,000 Muslims were organized and peacefully relocated from Greece to Turkey. She countered that the number of 1.5 million referred to Greeks from Asia Minor and Pontus, whom, as she wrote, were violently displaced or exterminated by the Young Turks and the Kemalist regime. She concluded by arguing that turning tourist destinations into tools of hatred through false claims and distortion of historical evidence constituted a new practice. #Ιστορία #Δράμα #Σέρρες (translated)

Meletis Meletopoulos wondered what ND had to celebrate, invoking OPEKEPE, wiretapping, natural disasters, the depopulation of the countryside, the decline in living standards, and the sale of everything. He described the eight years as a period of dismal failure and said that ND officials would be better off remaining silent. #ΝΔ #πολιτική #κοινωνία (translated)

Vicky conveyed excerpts from the testimony of Ilias Papaggelis, the father of Anastasia who was killed in the Tempi accident. He stated that his family's life was divided into "before" and "after" the accident and described his daughter as a remarkable child, with studies and dreams, who lived with them for 18.5 years. He mentioned that the family received her shoes and earrings in a bag, soaked in blood, and that they were not allowed to open the coffin. Papaggelis said he was still seeking answers and argued that if things had operated differently, the accident might have been avoided. He criticized the head of state, saying he should remove those responsible until justice was served. He added that this stance made him wonder if he himself was involved or if he was protecting his associates. He characterized the case as political and asserted that the relationship between businessmen and politicians led to deaths. He stated that 650,000 euros were allocated for the collection of soil along with the body parts of the children, while 100,000 euros were not allocated for traffic management. He called for strict penalties for those responsible and equal treatment for all under the law. Finally, he requested that communications be made public to reveal what the prime minister said to the minister and what the minister said to the head of the Hellenic Train. #Τέμπη #Δικαιοσύνη #Πολιτική (translated)
