  • Rest brothers... We have not forgotten you, you cannot be forgotten (vid.)

    What to write about the War of 1940? This War is much more than a succession of war events, battles and operations. Anyone who attempts to treat such an amazing event, a real religious ritual, with such disrespect is far from reality. The War of 1940 escapes the realm of reason, of rational examinat

  • Immortal Greece! The sacrifice of two disabled warriors to save 100 innocents!

Ευθύνες έχουν και για το γεγονός ότι άφησαν με το πραξικόπημα κενά στην άμυνα του νησιού. Από το πόρισμα του Φακέλου της Κύπρου, της ελληνικής Βουλής προκύπτ
