Greece is establishing its position as a pillar of stability in an unstable region and as a reliable partner, as well as a bridge of cooperation between Europe, the United States, the Middle East, and the countries of the Arab world and the Gulf. The importance of the visit of U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio to Athens, as well as the results of the 6th round of the Strategic Dialogue between Greece and the U.S., was emphasized on Sunday by Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis in a post on social media, highlighting that Greece is strengthening its geopolitical position at a time of significant changes in international balances. #Ελλάδα #ΗΠΑ #ΣτρατηγικόςΔιάλογος (translated)

Amalia wrote that Major Panagiotis Stoupas, originally from Lefki Messinia, had participated in the Asia Minor Campaign and in the Greco-Italian War. According to her post, during the Occupation, he created a resistance group in mountainous Trifylia and later joined the national resistance organization "Greek Army" (ES). Amalia mentioned that, following attacks by ELAS and with the intervention of British Major Harrington, the leaders of the ES signed on August 29, 1943, the Dyrrachium Pact, which stipulated the dissolution of the organization and the integration of its members into ELAS. She argued that those who had joined national resistance organizations were at risk, if captured by ELAS, of being forced to join them or be killed. According to her, Stoupas disagreed with the agreement and returned to Lefki. On October 10, 1943, strong ELAS forces surrounded the village, burned his house, and believed he had died, but he had escaped. Amalia wrote that later Stoupas joined the Security Battalions, as, in her estimation, thousands of other Greeks did. The post stated that Colonel Dionysios Papadogkonas, Stoupas's former commander, appointed him commander of the Security Battalion of Meligalas in March 1944. Amalia noted that after the ELAS attack on Meligalas, Stoupas moved to Gargalianoi with 100 men and was not in the city during the days of the massacre. After the collapse of the defense in Gargalianoi, he and his men retreated to Pylos. According to Amalia, when ELAS surrounded Pylos on September 24, local authorities sought a surrender agreement, while ELAS promised that there would be no massacres. She wrote that Stoupas accepted the agreement and committed suicide with his pistol at the castle gate, after saying goodbye to his men. She also cited the post-war testimony of Chris Woodhouse, who, she reported, conveyed words from British journalist Richard Capell in favor of choosing the Security Battalions instead of ELAS. #ιστορία #Ελλάδα #πατριωτισμός (translated)

The author argued that a close friend of Ursula von der Leyen provoked Greece, citing the phrase "You are too small for the great Greece that every Greek envisions." He referred to North Macedonia with disparaging terms and accused the government and the prime minister of not daring to respond. https://t.co/az3oQ8KW26 #Ελλάδα #Μακεδονία #Πολιτική #GR #MK (translated)

FLORENTIA wrote that, in anticipation of October 28, video content was expected on social media that, according to her, would reiterate arguments about Greek history from 1940. She predicted that their creators would attribute the Greek resistance to the use of pitch, would associate an 18th-century French card player with contemporary Greek identity, and would present Greece's victory as an accident. She also mentioned that they would argue that Italy had been provoked by Greece and would use footage of Greeks throwing flowers at German motorcyclists in 1941 as a sign of hospitality. FLORENTIA criticized the use of material from SS archives and argued that such narratives aimed, in her opinion, to overshadow agreements of friendship and non-aggression with Berlin and the shipment of chromium to the German war industry. She also referred to the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, the collapse of the front, and the sinking of the submarine Elli in Tinos. #Ιστορία #Γαστρονομία #Προπαγάνδα (translated)

O omg3lolz compared the Spaniards and the French who were in the streets to the Greeks, who, as he wrote, were in a worse position than both peoples but remained on the couch. With an ironic tone, he described the Greeks as a "sharp-witted people" and wrote that no one can outsmart them. #Ελλάδα #Διαμαρτυρία #Κοινωνία (translated)

On the Rocks argued that the attendance of 95,000 people at OAKA to hear Vissy showed, in his view, how easily the Greeks were manipulated. He compared the concert to an opportunity to see an international star whom, as he wrote, one would never see again in his lifetime, and noted that Vissy sang bouzouki every weekend at Hotel Ermou. #Ελλάδα #μουσική #πολιτισμός (translated)

🔴Stefanos Sarafis: "Commander of ELAS, by spitting." 🔴As I have emphasized many times, immediately after the German attack against the USSR, Stalin instructed the communist parties of the occupied countries to organize guerrilla warfare, primarily to harass the Germans, forcing them to maintain strong military forces in these countries, which, otherwise, would have been transferred to the eastern front. 🔴In Greece, a secondary objective of EAM - ELAS was to monopolize the guerrilla movement, to be the only armed force in the country after liberation, and to seize power by force. For this reason, according to G. Papandreou, the tactic was as follows: "It does not allow anyone else to rise to the mountains and fight the occupier. It punishes with death the Greeks who fulfill their patriotic duty. A former example is the present colonel Sarafis..." 🔴So, let's talk about Colonel Sarafis, who was made head of ELAS. He was born in 1890 in Trikala, graduated from the Non-Commissioned Officers School and became a second lieutenant in 1913. He sided with the Venizelists and actively participated in the failed military movements of 1933 and 1935. 🔴During the occupation and after discussions with various individuals about creating a resistance organization, a five-member committee was formed (Sarafis, Grigoriadis, Panopoulos, Chatzimpeis and Simos Vlachos), which evolved into the AAA Organization (3A, Struggle – Restoration – Independence). With the approval of the others, Sarafis went to Thessaly to form a guerrilla unit. 🔴After contacts he made there, he moved to Epirus, where on February 7, 1943, he met with Zervas and the representative of the Middle East Command, Colonel Eddie Myers, and they agreed to form guerrilla groups, with three sections: Epirus, led by Zervas; Thessaly, led by Sarafis; and Roumeli, led by Psarros. 🔴As soon as the news spread in Thessaly, EAM considered that with Sarafis’s reputation in the area, he could become a very dangerous opponent. Thus, initially, the mechanism of his moral extermination was put into operation, with the accusations that he was "a collaborator of the Italians" and "a man of the occupied prefect of Trikala." After the slanders did not succeed, EAM decided to take more drastic measures. 🔴After a trap, they treacherously captured him and other armed leaders, as well as 150 guerrillas who followed them. Ultimately, EAM decided that it would be preferable to force him to join ELAS rather than kill him. So, they locked him in a dungeon, and following orders, ELAS guerrillas would pass in front of him, spit on him and label him a "traitor," to break his spirits. 🔴When faced with the dilemma of "ELAS or the grave," Sarafis preferred to save his life. Of course, the communists exploited his joining to convince other former officers who hesitated to join ELAS due to the bad reputation that accompanied him. Of course, the position they gave him, that of the military leader of ELAS, was more "decorative," as decisions were made by the "chief captain" Aris Velouchiotis and the political commissioner Andreas Tzimas. 🔴The results of recruiting officers were mediocre because it had become known how Sarafis was forced to join ELAS. It is historically recorded, the phrase of politician Georgios Kartalis to Sarafis: "You were made commander of ELAS by spitting." 🔴What would have been Sarafis's fate if the KKE had prevailed? There is no doubt that he would have met the same fate as all the "fellow travelers" of the communists around the world. In the first "cleansing," he would be labeled a "agent" and "enemy of the people" and would be taken to the firing squad! Specifically, Sarafis would certainly be labeled an "agent of the Intelligence Service," as he had married British archaeologist Marion Pascoe. 🔴The comments are yours! #Σαράφης #ΕΛΑΣ #Κατοχή (translated)
