Yunan medyası Pentapostagma: ‘Mavi Vatan’ yasasıyla Türkiye, Ege’deki 152 adaya Türk bayrağı dikebilecek.

TSK, bugün İzmir kıyılarında Yunanistan’ın karşısında çıkarma tatbikatı yaptı 🇹🇷 Bayram’dan sonra 152 ada adacık ve kayalık Türk toprağı sayılmadan önce gözdağı veriyoruz

One of the issues that Türkiye most strongly objects to is the militarization of the Aegean islands bordering Türkiye. For example, it is estimated that the number of active Greek soldiers stationed on Samos,one of the closest points to the Turkish coast, is approximately 5,500.

Αν μιλήσετε με στρατιωτικό σε θέση ευθύνης θα σου πει , ποιος ρε η Τουρκία ; Δεν θα γίνει τίποτα ποτέ θα πάρουν τηλ οι αμερικανοί. Και με αυτούς και τέτοιου είδους ηθικό πάμε σε πόλεμο με έναν αγριεμένο έτοιμο κοινωνικά λαό να δεχτεί απώλειες. Καλά θα πάει αυτό ! Καλή τύχη !

"Islands cannot limit the continental shelf of coastal states" Actually inhabided islands have countles examples of full effect over continental coastlines, like in the Baltic,in Berring,in Andriatic and in Carabean.

Greece was literally built from scratch. And not even by Greeks. 🏛️ Their “independence heroes”? Kolokotronis → Bithguri (Albanian) Miaoulis → Boku (Albanian) Botsaris → Boçari (Albanian) Bubulina → born of Albanian mother Spoke Albanian at home. Albanian surnames. Albanian nicknames. The founders of “ancient Hellas” had Albanian accents. 😂 But wait it gets better. Their first king after “independence”? Otto I. A Bavarian. From Munich. Greece was so Greek that Europe had to import a German to run it. A German king. Albanian generals. And a language that had to be artificially imposed by law because the population wasn’t even speaking Greek properly. That’s right Greek was made mandatory by legislation. Without forced language laws, “Greece” would’ve been speaking Albanian, Slavic and Vlach in the villages and calling it a day. Modern Greek itself? Not even pure. It’s a 19th century academic construction Katharevousa invented by scholars trying to connect a medieval Balkan population to ancient Athens. A manufactured language. For a manufactured nation. Ruled by a foreign king. Founded by Albanians. And THESE are the people telling Turks: “You don’t belong in Anatolia.” Your king was German. 🇩🇪 Your heroes were Albanian. 🦅 Your language was legislated. 📜 Your identity was invented in the 1800s. The most fictional country in the Balkans has the loudest opinion about everyone else’s history. Sit down, Otto. 👑

"It would be better if you have died...- Κάλλιον νά ήθέλετε άποθάνει..." Here is a rare testimony from a Thessalonikian priest Ioannis Tholoitis, who visited along with a fellow Greek Andreas Argyros the German scholar Martin Crusius in Tübingen, Germany in 1585. There the German scholar asked them to write down notes about the situation in Greece, as he was interested in the conditions and status of his contemporary Greeks. The description by Tholoitis, at the end of 16th century, of the devshirme (paidomazoma)/ blood tax is revealing!! "Do you understand, lords and Christians, what sorrow the Greeks, the fathers and the mothers, have when their children are separated while still alive? From Constantinople, every five years, five hundred men are coming, and they are called in turkish janissaries, and in latin [italian], they are called soldati, and they are distributed to every city, around ten to fifteen. And that place where they are distributed is called the "kadilik". And the kadiliks are like a place where one duke rules his own territory. They go from city to city and gather the children and bring them to the nearest city, and there they sit and select them one by one, who is handsome in appearance and worthy in valor. They take these and leave the rest. And they take these and go to Constantinople. Put your heart in your brain, lords, how many mothers cut their cheeks and how many fathers strike their breasts with stones, and what sorrow those Christians have for their children, how they are separated while still alive, and how many mothers say they would rather die and bury them in our church than have you [the kids], who have raised them so well, separate us while still alive and take them to be turned into Turks, to renounce our Christian faith. It would be better if you have died. Then they take these children and go to Constantinople, and they shave their heads, and whichever is a nobleman's child and very handsome, they leave a mark from his hairline next to his ear, and that mark is called a tsouloufion. Those children who get the tsouloufion, the grand Agarene [Ottoman Sultan] takes to his palace, and the others are distributed to the pashas and other Turkish lords of Constantinople until they learn to speak Turkish. And they learn to shoot a rifle and a bow to shoot straight. This is the need of the Christians in the hands of the Agarenes." "Καταλαβαίνετε, άρχοντες καί χριστιανοί, το τί λύπη έχουν οι Γραικοί, οι πατέρες καί αι μητέρες, που χωρίζονται τα παιδιά τους ζωντανά. ’Από την Κωνσταντινούπολή κάθε πέντε χρόνια εύγένουσι πεντακόσιοι άνδρες καί λέγονται τούρκικα γενίτζαροι καί λατινικά λέγονται σολδάτοι και διαμοιράζονται εις πάσαν πόλιν από δέκα πέντε. Kαι ό τόπος εκείνος, όπου μοιράζονται λέγεται κατοιλίκι. Καί είναι τα κατοιλίκια ωσάν πάσα ένας δούκας, δπον ορίζει τον τόπον του. Πηγαίνουν από πόλιν είς πόλιν καί μαζεύουν τα παιδία καί τά φέρνουν είς την πρώτην πόλιν καί εκεί κάθονται καί τά διαλέγουσιν από ένα ένα, δποιον είναι εύμορφο είς την θεωρίαν καί άξιον είς την ανδρείαν. Αυτά λαμβάνουσι καί τά άλλα τά άφίνουσι. Καί παίρνουν αυτά καί πορεύονται είς την Κωνσταντινούπολή. Την καρδιά βάνετε είς τον νουν σας, άρχοντες, πόσες μάννες κόπτουν τά μάγουλά τους καί πόσοι πατέρες δέρνουν τά στήθια τους με τες πέτρες καί τί λύπη νά έχουν εκείνοι οι χριστιανοί διά τα παιδιά τους, πώς τά χωρίζονται ζωντανά καί πόσες μητέρες ελέγασι κάλλιον νά ήθελαν πεθαίνει καί νά τά θάψω μεν είς την εκκλησίαν μας παρά δπου σας άναθρέψαμεν τόσο τρανά καί τώρα σας χωριζόμεθα ζωντανά καί σάς πηγαίνουν νά σας τουρκέψουν, νά εύγήτε από την πίστιν μας την χριστιανικήν. Κάλλιον νά ήθέλετε άποθάνει. Τότε λαμβάνουσιν αυτά τά παιδία καί πορεύονται είς τήν Κωνσταντινούπολή καί βαίνουν καί τά ξυρίζουσι τά κεφάλια καί όποιο είναι άρχοντόπαιδο καί εύμορφο πολύ τοϋ άφίνουν σημάδι από τά μαλλιά του σιμά είς το αυτί καί τό σημάδι εκείνο λέγεται τζουλούφιον. ’Εκείνα τά παιδιά οπού άφίνουσι τό τζουλούφι, τά παίρνει ό άγαρηνός ό μέγας είς τά παλάτι του καί τά άλλα μοιράζονται οι πασάδες καί οί άλλοι άρχοντες οι Τούρκοι τής Κωνσταντινουπόλεως, έως νά μάθουν τά τούρκικα νά μιλούν. Καί μαθαίνουσι καί τό τουφέκι καί το δοξάριον να τό τοξεύωσιν ίσα. Αυτήν τήν ανάγκην έχουν οι χριστιανοί είς τάς χείρας των ’Αγαρηνών" Source: Κ.
