🔴 U.S demands Turkey to return F-35 production and testing equipment
>https://archive.is/RyjXp

🔸 The production and testing equipment for F-35 jets that is currently located in Ankara, Turkey, will be returned to the Northrop Grumman aircraft manufacturing facility in California.

‼️ Turkey hoped to get back into the F-35 program, but in October 2024 American authorities conducted a Market Survey and determined that the equipment should be transferred to the U.S

🔸 The equipment is already scheduled to be shipped by sea to California. The JPO (The US Department of Defense’s F-35 Joint Program Office) plans to work with contractors to dismantle, package, and transport the equipment in Turkey in accordance with American and international transportation standards.

🔸 All equipment will be placed in containers for sea transport. It will also be recorded and protected from disassembly to storage

To clarify, the protests were held mostly by leftist student movements and leftist political parties. Being the "SYRIZA" party one of the most vocal organizations demanding for resignations

The Greek people do lament the accident but the overall alarmism and rioting come from leftist groups

This is also not something out of the ordinary, in nearly every single protest, most notably of leftist groups, molotovs are always thrown, some people are arrested but it usually ends just as fast as it started

it's highly likely that nothing will happen even after all this

🔴 Germany is launching a program to send "refugees" back to Greece
>archive.is/oy35t
>archive.is/9E4Rp

‼️ The new program began in January 2025. Participation in the program will be voluntary in the first phase, but mandatory returns will also be sought. The aim is to return to Greece people who have already received protection status in Greece in the last two years, are between 19 and 49 years old and are able to work

🔸 It is being developed by the Federal Service of Immigrants and Refugees (BAMF) and follows on from the Helios project, which ended last autumn. According to the SPIEGEL, those who return will receive support from the Greek authorities through a special programme, and at a later stage will be integrated into another programme to learn the language and for work

⚠️ The organisation and financing will be carried out by the German Länder, while the costs of the programme in Greece will be covered initially by EU funds and subsequently by the Greek government

🔴 2024 Mass immigration to Cyprus
>UNHCR

🔸 The Cypriot Government adopted a different stance against immigration in 2024, increasing the patrols to prevent ships carrying illegal immigrants from reaching the island and suspended the review of Asylum Applications to Syrians since May 2024 (🖇 Source)

🔸 Cyprus also adopted policies to revoke the Supplementary Protection Status of immigrants that commit crimes. It is important to note that Cyprus grants more SPS than Refugee Status, which does not grants the same protections as a Refugee status (🖇 Source)

🔸 The Cypriot Government has also been taking deportations more seriously than the rest of Europe

‼️ This led to a reduction of 44.6% in immigration to Cyprus, when the total of 2023 was 11.009 versus the 6.096 of 2024

⚠️ Similarly to Greece, nearly 60% of illegal immigrants are Adult Men, 14.7% are Adult Women and only 25.6% are Minors

🔴 Egypt passed the first law to deal with Asylum Seekers/Illegal Immigrants
>https://archive.is/VluGO

🔸 Egypt approved a law that deal with Asylum for the first time in its history, mainly due to the influx of Sudanese and people from the Gaza strip

‼️ "Human Rights" groups are worried about an article in the law that allows Egyptian authorities to take "necessary measures" against refugees in times of war, during counter-terrorism operations or in response to extraordinary circumstances aimed at ensuring public order and national security

‼️ The law also makes it illegal to help 'asylum seekers' without notifying the authorities and give a deadline of 45 days to apply for asylum after entering Egypt

🔸 According with the Egyptian government, over 1.2 Million Sudanese have moved to the country since 2023

🟢 Egypt is one of the routes illegal immigrants take to reach Europe, many go to Libya and from there try to go to either Greece or Italy

1️⃣.2️⃣ — Committed a serious non-political crime outside the country of refuge before admission as a refugee
1️⃣.3️⃣ — Guilty of acts contrary to the purposes and principles of the United Nations

2️⃣ — When can the Refugee status be revoked/ceased (Article 1(C))?
2️⃣.1️⃣ — The refugee voluntarily re-acquired their lost nationality
⚠️2️⃣.2️⃣ — The refugee voluntarily re-established themselves in their country of origin (if there are new forms of persecution their asylum is not revoked)
2️⃣.3️⃣ — The original reason for their Refugee status ends (e.g. Syrian war against the Assad Government)

3️⃣ — Non-Refoulement (Article 33)
‼️ 3️⃣.1️⃣ — Refugees may be expelled if they pose a threat to national security or the public order of the host country (Article 33(2))
‼️3️⃣.2️⃣ — "Has been convicted of a particularly serious crime and is thereby a danger to the community of that country"

4️⃣ — Suspension or Denial of Asylum Applications
4️⃣.1️⃣ — Safe Third Country Rule: If an applicant has traveled through a country where they could have sought asylum.
4️⃣.2️⃣ — Manifestly Unfounded or Fraudulent Claims: Applications lacking credible evidence or based on fabricated information.
4️⃣.3️⃣ — Repeated Claims: Dismissal of applications that have already been determined to be unfounded.
4️⃣.4️⃣ — Temporary Protection Regime: Some states implement temporary measures where full refugee status is suspended in favor of temporary protection during large-scale crises


✳️ Note about 3.2: Refugees might not lose their status for minor infractions, but, serious crimes or continued disregard for the country's laws could be used to revoke their status

‼️Article 2 – General Obligations of Refugees:
🔸Refugees are required to:

Conform to the laws and regulations of the country in which they find themselves as well as to measures taken for the maintenance of public order

‼️⚠️‼️ — The above refers to revoking the Refugee/Asylum status, sadly, EU deportation regulations must be applied in order to deport them after losing Refugee status, which means there will be two different legal procedures that would likely take years for each individual

🔸 The HTS in particular has a long history of being affiliated with ISIS, while they have also been working with Turkey for a while before being labeled as a Terrorist Organization by the Turks but are still somehow supplied with Turkish weapons

🔴 Makis Voridis was appointed new Minister of Immigration and Asylum
>https://archive.is/Afpez

Legal immigration means that we will decide who is coming from, where they are coming from, how much they will stay and how many will come here
They will respect our values, our identity, our cultural heritage, the place that hosts them

🔸 Voridis made a long speech about how the government has not changed its stance despite changing the faces of the people representing it, and that with his values he will make a change

🔸 Voridis has been involved with big figures of the Greek Right Wing sphere, from being the secretary general of Political Union (EPEN), a party founded by the junta leader Georgios Papadopoulos. He replaced Nikolaos Michaloliakos as secretary general of EPEN. Michaloliakos went on to lead Golden Dawn

🔸 While Voridis is known by many as a "far right" figure, he was also behind the ban of the Right Wing "Greeks" party, claiming it was an anti-systemic option
