🔥 Imagine a NATO country discussing, on prime-time TV, how to conquer a neighbor it is not at war with. A neighbor that is also an ally.
That country is Turkey.
On A Haber — a major channel closely tied to the government — journalists and retired officers casually map an invasion of Greece: Western Thrace, Thassos, even Thessaloniki. One of them says they will “take Thessaloniki, God willing” and “perform midday prayers” there.
The supposed trigger? Greece using a right it already has under the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea: extending territorial waters around its Aegean islands from 6 to 12 nautical miles. A unilateral right under #UNCLOS. Turkey never signed the treaty. Since 1995 it has treated that legal step as a casus belli.
This is the same Turkey some European leaders still sell as a partner for European security — while ignoring occupied northern Cyprus, an #EU member state, and the fact that the Aegean islands are EU borders.
Would Poles, Balts, Romanians, or Germans feel comfortable if a neighbor’s pro-government TV spent prime time planning to take their islands , cities?

Αναμφίβολα είναι ένα έργο που έχει μαγάλη χρησιμότητα, το πρόβλημα είναι ότι ��ίνεται μετά το τέλος της κτηματογράφησης ενώ θα έπρεπε να έχει προηγηθεί από αυτήν

When Greece became independent from the Ottoman Empire in 1830, and as Greece expanded over the next century, the long task of reverting mosques into churches.
Here are some of the reverted churches:
Agios Demetrios church in Thessaloniki, constructed in the early 4th century AD, became a mosque in 1493 but was finally reconsecrated into a church in 1949.
