🔴 Illegal immigrants heading towards Crete once again call for rescue
>https://archive.is/ABf25

🔸 Yesterday morning (15/05/24) 36 illegal immigrants, 32 Bangladeshi and 4 Egyptians, were detected approaching crete, they were detained and taken to Elafonisi where they would be most likely transported to Souda

‼️ Later that same day, 21 illegal immigrants called emergency services because they ran out of fuel, the boat left from Tobruk, Libya, towards Crete. (Image above posted by the immigrants related to this incident)

/GBG/
💭 European policy of rescuing illegal immigrants and basically giving them a ferry ride to European territory is something that needs to change, it only encourages immigration and uses taxpayer's money to assist people who were already attempting to illegally enter Europe, urgent reform to asylum process is needed as well as 'rescue' procedures

🔸 According with the Cypriot Minister of Interior, ALL Asylum Applications from people who claim to have Syrian origin will be suspended, it was also decided to immediately revoke the Asylum status or reject applications from people who have traveled to Syria in the past 12 months

🔸 Many immigrants travel back to Syria after acquiring Asylum in Europe, in Cyprus' case, they fly to Syria by going to the illegally occupied region of Cyprus

🔸 The reason being that the reassessment of Syria's status as a safe country as well as the definition of safe areas within Syria is being evaluated

‼️The move opens a precedent for other European countries to re-evaluate the applications as well as who has the right to even request Asylum

🔴 New 7.4 Billion EU immigration deal and Greek Ministry of Immigration still lying about reduced immigration

‼️ The EU has signed a € 7.4 Billion Euros immigration deal with Egypt. € 5 Billions in Soft Loans, € 1.8 Billion as investments for the private sector, € 600 Million in grants and € 200 Million for immigration management

🔸 The deal is significant since many smugglers and the immigrants themselves either go through Egypt to reach Libya and other North African countries to depart towards Europe or go to Europe directly from Egypt. Egypt also is a far more honorable ally than Turkey

🔸 Meanwhile the Greek Minister of Migration and Asylum, Dimitris Keiridis claims illegal immigration dropped 70% in the upper Aegean and 90% in Evros claiming Egypt has played a major role, insane claims given how both 2023 and 2024 have registered the highest number of immigrants since 2016

🔸 Across Europe, Syrians* made 181 000 Asylum applications, Afghans** followed with 114 000 applications (11% less than in 2022) and Turks have filed 101 000 applications (81% more than 2022, mostly in Germany)

‼️ The approval rate in 2023 was the highest since 2016, with around 46% of applications being accepted (applicants can appeal and resubmit again while still in Europe, a process that generally takes over two years)

⚠️‼️* 80% of applications from so called Syrians are approved, which is why many immigrants claim to be Syrian in order to receive asylum, although they have a few more obstacles to receive citizenship and permanent residency, interviews from as back as 2016 showed Pakistanis and even sub-saharan africans claiming to be Syrians

​​Armenians around the world today remember the 1.5 million victims of the Turkish atrocities that began in 1894 and continued until 1917

Today marks the 109th anniversary of the 1915 Genocide of Armenians, Greeks, and Assyrians. On the night of April 24, 1915, the Ottoman government announced the arrest of the first wave of 235 of the most prominent Armenian intellectuals in Constantinople.

The Turkish Ottoman government killed Armenians through shootings, starvation, death marches, and torture of all kinds. The most common type of killing was death marches, where Armenians were sent to starve to death in the Syrian desert.

Children and women were often attempted to be forcibly Islamized, leading to mass suicides. Young women and girls were often used as domestic servants or sex slaves. Some boys were kidnapped to work as forced laborers for Muslims.

Those who were able to walk more than a thousand kilometers across the desert and survived were granted asylum in French Mandate Syria.

The genocide led to the formation of an Armenian diaspora, and survivors mostly chose France, Argentina and the United States as a refuge.

After the massacres and deportations, some Armenians tried to use bribes to find Armenian orphans as part of the "one child, one bar of gold" campaign. Through the local population, Armenians bribed people who sang Armenian lullabies and thus triggered the memories of the children in order to identify them.

In 1920, a revenge operation called "Nemesis" was launched.

Between 1920 and 1922, the underground cell of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation committed seven assassinations, the most famous of which was the assassination of Talaat Pasha, the main organizer of the Armenian genocide, carried out by Armenian Soghomon Telirian in March 1921 in Berlin.

On August 22, 1939, in preparation for the impending invasion of Poland, Hitler stated:
“Who, after all, speaks today of the annihilation of the Armenians?”

Israel still has not recognized the Armenian Genocide.

In 2015, the Armenian Church canonized all 1.5 million martyrs of the Turkish atrocities.

In 2016, Armenian philanthropists Noubar Afeyan, Vartan Gregorian, and Ruben Vardanyan (abducted, currently being held in an Azeri-Turkish prison in Baku) established the Aurora Prize, which is awarded annually on behalf of Armenian Genocide survivors. The winner of the Aurora Award receives a $1,000,000 dollar prize for awakening humanity. The award recipients are distinguished individuals fighting for human rights around the world and the prize goes to their chosen charitable organizations.

The genocide is fully recognized by 34 countries, including Argentina, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Mexico, the United States, Russia, as well as by the European Parliament and the Catholic Church. Dozens of countries around the world have partially recognized the genocide. The first country to recognize the genocide was Uruguay in 1965.

Together with the Armenians, 900,000 Greeks and 750,000 Assyrians were killed.

The Armenian genocide is stubbornly denied by Turkey, Azerbaijan and Pakistan, which 109 years later, in 2023, ethnically cleansed Armenian-populated Artsakh through a 10-month blockade, famine and numerous wars.

Since 2021, the Istanbul Governorate has banned public events commemorating the victims of the 1915 Armenian Genocide.

🔸 The Minister of National Defense, Nikos Dendias, announced that Greece will acquire Anti-Missile and Anti-Drone systems similar to Israel's Iron Dome, citing that after observing Israel's system responding to Iran's attack and the war in Ukraine, the need for such systems became obvious

🔸 He noted that Turkey increased its drone production and development and that initially Greece did not think it was necessary to fill that gap in the Armed Forces System

🔸 Dendias said that the system wont be purchased right now but that the Greek Government has already calculated the possible expenditure for doing so in the future

⚠️ It is also worth noting that Greece has started developing military drones domestically in recent years and the program has already produced some results but is still not enough to produce fully operational armed drones in larger scales

It means that Turkey will abolish the ceilings of forces and armaments imposed by the treaties as well as the mutual checks to ensure that countries were complying with the ceilings and the guidelines for destruction and withdraw of war materials

‼️ This comes a while after Russia withdrew from the treaty which caused NATO to declare its 'freezing' as the relevance of the treaty without Russia is reduced significantly

‼️ It is still not known if Greece will follow suit and also suspend or withdraw from the treaty since there has been an increasing arms race between Greece and Turkey for the past few years

🔸 The treaty itself only aims at avoiding accumulation of military forces and armaments as well as to create checks and balances between Western countries and those from the Warsaw Pact

🔸 Gerd Heller from Deutsche Welle, points out that recent numbers show that the Greek island of Gavdos, south of Crete, has become popular among immigrant smugglers. The island is under the administration of Chania, a region of the island of Crete.

🔸 The number of illegal immigrants aiming for Crete has increased in the first weeks of 2024, out of those illegal immigrants, most of them arrived in Gavdos and were then transferred to Crete.

‼️ 612 illegal immigrants arrived in Gavdos within the first 7 weeks of the year

‼️ The island has a total native population of 120 residents

🔸 Crete/Gavdos is not only targeted by north african smugglers but it is also a place where smugglers from Turkey choose to go in case their journey from the Turkish coast towards Italy does not go as planned or simply as a way to save resources while delivering the immigrants to Europe

🇬🇷☦️❌🏳️‍🌈 Greek Church Condemns Bill to Legalise Same-Sex Marriage

The Holy Synod of the Church of Greece unanimously agreed at a meeting on Tuesday that it is “strongly opposed” to the Greek government’s promised bill on same-sex marriage and adoption.

“The initiators of the bill and those who agree with it are promoting the abolition of fatherhood and motherhood and their transformation into neutral parenthood, the disappearance of gender roles within the family and the placing of the sexual choices of homosexual adults above the interests of future children,” the Holy Synod said in a press release.

The conservative New Democracy government has promised to bring forward a bill allowing same-sex civil marriages, although it is still unclear when it will be tabled.
Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis told the Greek public broadcaster ERT that the bill will also give same-sex couples the right to adopt, but not to have children through surrogacy.
