A common finding is that it is very likely that in the next period of time we will experience at least one major Greek-Turkish crisis or a heated episode that will be accompanied by military action against our country.
According to our recent article, which cites information from e-evros.gr, the largest National Interbranch exercise Parmenia will not be held this year.
Although so far the reasons have not been officially clarified, military sources report that other training activities will take place in the area of Thessaloniki and Xanthi.
This exercise is the top cross-branch operational training activity, in scenarios that further upgrade the synergy, combat capability and interoperability of the Greek Armed Forces in the modern battlefield.
Due to the instability that prevails in Greek-Turkish relations, there is no room for complacency and the Armed Forces have proven that they have the ability, the will and the determination to fulfill their mission under any conditions, even the most adverse.
There is certainty that anyone who dares to underestimate the power of the Greek EDs will receive an immediate, very painful and overwhelming response, with International Law and the preservation of peace dictating their actions and reactions.
We remind you that the final phase of Parmenion last year included the holding of the TAMS “NIGHT LIGHTNING-21” directed by the 4th Army Corps with the participation of units from the Special Warfare Command of the 1st Army (DEP/GETHA), Formations and Units of the 1st Army, Army Aviation Helicopters and Air Force Aircraft.
According to the Exercise scenario, a Mechanized Brigade conducting a night fight initially defends in order to draw the enemy into a pre-planned area of destruction in its defensive location.
The friendly forces having gained a tactical advantage carry out offensive action with their reserve, with the support of Artillery fire, Attack Helicopters and Fighter Aircraft to create favorable conditions and with the aim of its complete neutralization in combination with actions of Attack Helicopters and Airborne Forces.
According to information from Evros-news.gr, next week the Foreign Minister Nikos Hardalia will visit Evros in a few days, following the visits of the A/GEETHA to the headquarters of motorized and armored formations in the pre-rain region.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs earlier carried out literally sweeping visits to island garrisons, micro-islands and outposts on our islands in the Aegean, where Turkish interest is focused.
With the Turkish rhetoric of Erdogan and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and other officials of the Turkish government and the AKP-MHP parties against Greece has taken off in the last period of time, especially after the return of the Turkish President from New York, where he returned on leave hands regarding the issue of the supply of F-16s from the USA, the ever-increasing violations of the EEC and overflights of our islands by Turkish fighters, drones, CN-235 and helicopters in the Aegean and the brainwashing with anti-Greek sentiment of the Turkish media towards the Turkish people, we realize that the possibility of a hot episode that would lead to a military confrontation between Turkey and Greece has increased dramatically.
In general, the Aegean is boiling, without the faint possibility of a return of the relations between the two countries to the level of dialogue, since Erdogan has cut off any contact with the Greek Prime Minister.
The above has put the Hellenic Armed Forces on alert, since it is a common finding that it is very likely that in the next period of time we will experience at least one major Greek-Turkish crisis in the Aegean region, without even completely ruling out Evros.
From the above, we understand that it is indeed very likely that the reports about the non-holding of the multi-branch exercise “Parmenion 2022” will be fully confirmed, at a time when Turkish aggression has turned red in the Aegean.
In general, Greece wishes to have the Motorized and Armored Formations in Evros and our forces in the Aegean islands, in their camps, or in places of dispersion during this period, testing various individual plans, and ready for any eventuality, since it is known that the our country in case of a localized crisis and a hot episode in the Aegean with an unfavorable development, that it will not deal with this as an isolated incident as in Imia, “looking at the tree but the forest”, where the forest is the entire border with Turkey and Turkey itself .
At the same time in the Aegean, with the Greek fleet bombarded and the air force on constant vigilance, it would be unnecessary for the “TAMS Parmenion 2022” to be held on one of our islands, since it would give the Turks the opportunity for provocative actions and a further increase in Turkish aggression .
