πŸ”΄ A fire broke out at the Vathi immigrant camp in the island of Samos, the camp was immediately evacuated and the illegal immigrants will be transferred to the new camp of Zervou
>https://archive.is/ui0hG

πŸ”Έ The very coincidental fire broke out last night (19/09), one day before the transfer of the illegal immigrants living in the camp to the new camp of Zervou

πŸ‘¨πŸΎβ€πŸ¦± The Vathi camp officially housed over 4.5k illegal immigrants

/GBG/
🟒 This has become common practice, illegal immigrants, burn their own camps when they dont like their benefits in order to force the authorities to transfer them to another location such as hotels or other camps

🟒 What most likely happened is that the transfer process was gradual and would take several weeks to transfer all illegal immigrants to Zervou, so the illegals burned the camp to make sure the transfer would be faster and to remind the government that if they dont get what they want, the new camp will also burn just as what happened to Moria and now Vathi

A Roman copy of a Greek original depicting Goddess Selene - the original was from the early 4th century BC., while this piece is from early imperial times.

She is wearing a chiton and her himation forms the billowing shape behind her. The attributes that confirms her identification is, apart from the raised cloak, the crescent moon on her head the torch in her hand (it might look like the sheath for a dagger, but it's not - but the flame itself is gone).
 
Selene was the Greek moon goddess (her Roman equivalent was Luna), the daughter of Hyperion and Theia, and the sister of Helios (the sun) and Eos (the dawn). In Classical times she was often identified with Artemis (and in Rome, Diana).

πŸ‡«πŸ‡·πŸ— HUNTERS DEMONSTRATE AGAINST THE FRENCH GOVERNMENT

πŸ‘‰πŸ» This Saturday, tens of thousands of hunters are demonstrating all over France as the government wants to ban a traditional form of hunting for "ecological" reasons.

ℹ️ Hunters represent nearly 1 million people in France and they are particularly feared by the different governments.

πŸ‘€ Indeed, they live in the rural areas of France, far from the metropolis. They have a rather traditional and minimalist way of life. They are known to support right-wing and far-right parties.

πŸ”₯ And above all, they own 2/3 of the firearms in circulation in France, about 20 million weapons.

πŸ“Œ The government's fear is often that hunters will join protest movements like the Yellow Vests or the movement against the vaccine passport.

πŸ”΄ Turkish Coast Guard ship pointed its weapons at a Greek Coast Guard ship near Farmakonisi on Sunday night (19/09)
>https://archive.is/DGoZk

πŸ”Έ A boat of the Turkish Coast Guard, which seems to have accompanied a boat with migrants to the Greek island, performed dangerous maneuvers towards the boat of the Greek Coast Guard, which was on patrol in the area and noticed the movement of the boat to Farmakonisi.

πŸ”Έ The Turks, however, were not limited to the aggressive maneuvers towards the boat of LS-ELAKT, reaching a breathing distance from the Greek patrol. They also turned their weapons towards the Greek ship and the Officers of the Greek Coast Guard. For several minutes the two boats remained in the area. Finally the Greek boat managed to prevent the boat of illegals from crossing into Greek Territorial Waters and leaving with the Turkish ship

πŸ”΄ Turkish newspaper once again claims Greece is violating the Lausanne treaty due to the possible signing of a new military deal with the U.S in which the newspaper claims would allow the U.S to build bases in Greek islands surrounding Turkey
>https://archive.is/lEqJb

πŸ”Έ Entitled: "Athens Concedes Islands to the Pentagon: The Presence of Troops Violates The Lausanne Treaty" The article fantasizes about American bases in the islands of Lemnos, Lesvos, Samothrace and Skyros, after Alexandroupolis

πŸ”Έ "The US, which is building a military base in Alexandroupolis, 40 km from Turkey , now wants the islands that surround the Dardanelles Straits. The islands that the Pentagon wants to establish bases are Lemnos, Lesvos, Samothrace and Skyros. Especially Lemnos will be used for US air operations" said Yeni Safak, arguing that the islands are governed by a "civilian regime" and that the move violates the Lausanne Accords

🟒 The Lausanne treaty does allow partial militarization by Greece

πŸ”΄ Greek Foreign Minister has ordered the Greek embassy in Turkey to protest the illegal fishing of Turkish fishing ships in Greek waters
>https://archive.is/9Sqxc

πŸ”Έ Nikos Dendias has ordered the Greek embassy in Ankara to protest against illegal fishing by Turkish fishing vessels in Greek territorial waters, in order to ensure Greek national sovereignty and the protection of European waters

πŸ”Έ He also cited the practice of Turkish Coast Guard vessels, which accompany Turkish fishing vessels and harasses Greek fishing vessels

πŸ”Έ "Illegal fishing in Greek territorial waters is also a violation of European law, in addition to the fact that it is another violation, by Turkey, of the International Law of the Sea. Turkey, unfortunately, continues its delinquent behavior. The Greek side, committed to defending its rights under international law, leaves no challenge unanswered" the foreign ministry said in a statement

πŸ”΄ Video from Akritas (aka Tuzla), Constantinople, shows illegal immigrants at a deportation center waiting to apply for Asylum in Turkey so they can have their detention suspended and attempt crossing into Greece
>https://archive.is/u2nPq

πŸ”Έ Apparently most illegal immigrants choose to get detained at this and other regions due to the proximity with the Greek Border and easy access to smugglers. The video was taken yesterday (20/09/2021)

πŸ”Έ Other regions chosen by the illegals include Kyklobion/Strongylon (aka Zeytinburnu), Esenyurt and Amikos/Amnicus (aka Beykoz)

πŸ”Έ After applying for Asylum, the illegals have their administrative detention lifted and are allowed to stay in Turkey legally until the examination of their application, enjoying basic rights and services. Upon their application, an applicant ID is issued
