Nikolas Moraitis wrote that he admired the simple and direct language of Dionysis Charitopoulos and characterized him as a great writer. He added that Greece owed him the restoration of historical truth, as, according to him, through his study and the book "Aris: the leader of the irregulars," he had refuted the propaganda of the right’s underground for the National Resistance. Quoting an excerpt from Charitopoulos's work, Moraitis mentioned that the author accused official Greece of having hidden or defamed the resistance movement for years and that former fighters of ELAS and their families faced social and state stigma. Charitopoulos, according to the excerpt, also described a multi-year effort to distort the facts and argued that EAM was the greatest epic of modern Greek history. The same text cited words from Panagiotis Kanellopoulos regarding the National Resistance. #ΔιονύσηςΧαριτόπουλος #ΕλληνικήΙστορία #Αντίσταση (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)

Amalia presented a highly classified British report titled "Greek Security Battalions," numbered PIC/263/21 and PIC PAPER No 55, which, according to her, was sent to the Allied headquarters in the Middle East by an officer signing as "Colonel Chris" on July 18, 1944. Amalia assessed that the author was likely Chris Woodhouse. According to her presentation, the report stated that few Greeks willingly collaborated with the occupying forces and that their motivations were primarily self-interest, survival, or ambition. It also noted that, despite the impending departure of the Germans, the Security Battalions were reinforced after spring 1944, and their clashes with ELAS became more intense. Amalia interpreted this point as an indication that the Battalions aimed to prevent the communists from prevailing after the Germans' withdrawal. The report, as she described it, categorized the members of the Battalions into poor individuals who enlisted for survival, criminal elements, volunteers antagonistic to EAM/ELAS, anti-communist officers, and members of other organizations that had been attacked by ELAS. As an example, she mentioned 200 members of EKKA who joined the Battalions in Patras after the disbandment of the 5/42 Regiment in April 1944. Amalia stated that the author of the report negatively assessed the military actions of the Battalions, as they participated in German attacks against ELAS, but considered that some of their officers were capable. Politically, the report presented them as useful to some of the Greeks because they hindered the dominance of EAM and described three options for the Cairo government: support for EAM/ELAS, tacit support for the Battalions, or condemnation of both sides. The third option, according to Amalia, was considered to have the greatest likelihood of uniting moderate forces. The report concluded, as she wrote, that the actions of the Battalions and of EAM/ELAS were equally terroristic. #ΤάγματαΑσφαλείας #Ελλάδα #Ιστορία (translated)

John Vatatzes wrote that the Tsar of the Bulgarians, Samuel, had built, approximately 1,000 years ago, the church of Saint Achilles on an islet in Little Prespa and that the lakes of Ohrid and Prespa were in the heart of his kingdom. He mentioned that Professor Nikolaos Moutsopoulos had found the bones of Samuel in 1965 on Greek soil and that they were kept in Thessaloniki. According to Vatatzes, Greece was asking Bulgaria to return thousands of relics and manuscripts that, he claimed, had been looted from monasteries in Eastern Macedonia and Thrace during the occupation of the area in 1917. He also noted that the Treaty of Neuilly provided for their return and that in 2014, during the premiership of Antonis Samaras, it had been agreed to return approximately 2,000 relics, without Greece agreeing to relinquish the rest. He himself accused Kyriakos Mitsotakis of giving Bulgaria the bones of Samuel in 2026, which he described as being of inestimable historical and ideological value to the Bulgarians, in exchange for just 48 relics. He compared the move to Alexis Tsipras's concession of the name Macedonia in 2018 and argued that Greece had now lost its bargaining tool for the return of the remaining relics. #Ελλάδα #Ιστορία #Μακεδονία (translated)
