The event in Napoli (Neapoli/Naples) just finished.
Italy demonstrates that it is a place of tolerance and openness, and allows people to express their identity without persecution, lynching or prison - unlike in Turkey.
Una Faccia, Una Razza!
I'll continue posting clearer photos from tonight's Giuseppe Carnevale Lampadedromia in Napoli (Neapolis/Naples) as I receive them.
Hellenism is returning to Southern Italy thanks to Rome's tolerance of minorities and identity - Turkey should learn this.

When Greece became independent from the Ottoman Empire in 1830, and as Greece expanded over the next century, the long task of reverting mosques into churches.
Here are some of the reverted churches:
Agios Demetrios church in Thessaloniki, constructed in the early 4th century AD, became a mosque in 1493 but was finally reconsecrated into a church in 1949.
Hagia Sophia Church in Monemvasia dates to about 1150 but turned into a mosque in 1715. Repair works to turn it into a church again began in 1827.
Hagia Sophia in Mystras was constructed in the 1300's, was converted into a mosque at an undisclosed date during the Ottoman occupation (from the 1400's onwards, unntil being converted into a church almost immediately after Greece's independence in 1830.
As someone married to a non-Greek, I urge Greek youth to seriously think when dating someone from a different culture, not all are progressive. Upsetting your parents by dating an Afghani/Pakistani isn't rebellious, you're regressing into backwardness. RIP greekcitytimes.com/2022/08/02/ath…
A tragic case that potentially could've been avoided.
It shouldn't have to be said that a 30-year-old Pakistani dating a 17-year-old should be discouraged, not enabled by hosting him in the girl's house.
The father of the 17-year-old girl, who lived with her mother & allegedly killed by her 30-year-old Pakistani boyfriend, disproved of the relationship & wanted it to end.

Athens believes Route 1-2 is “infeasible” because they’re illiberal dictatorships, which apparently Turkey is not…
Apparently for Greece, Russia-Iran are bigger threats than Turkey…
From Greece being on the verge of having an economic corridor to India via Iran, Caucasus and Black Sea, to taking instructions from the USA and creating provocation where tensions never had to exist to begin with…
But it’s okay, we still have our Turkish and Azeri friends…
Why did we waste resources with these soft power initiatives if only a few months later we would submit to US demands and without provocation begin a diplomatic crisis with Iran?
For all of Greece’s rhetoric of “European strategic autonomy,” all we have seen is capitulation.

Pakistani national Ahmed Waqas, who was imprisoned for leaving a 15-year-old girl on Paros island with a permanent disability after attacking her with a rock and raping her in 2012, has applied for parole.
