Zelensky asked the Greek Parliament for a Greek-inspired secret society be established in Greece "to save Mariupol."

As much as Greeks in Mariupol want peace and normality to return, I can confidently say they don't want the "normal" to be a resurrection of the Azov Battalion.
Zelensky told the the Greek Parliament that "We will not allow Russia to destroy our common cultural heritage [in Mariupol]."

He makes no mention that Mariupol's heritage is of the Russian Empire and Empress Catherine the Great, not Ukraine.
Zelensky told the Greek Parliament "Greeks and Ukrainians will live side by side again [in Mariupol]."

Does that mean Greeks and Ukrainians will not live side-by-side with the Russians in Mariupol?

Most inhabitants of Donetsk Oblast identify as Russian and not Ukrainian...
Zelensky said to the Greek Parliament that "Greeks and Ukrainians have lived side by side for a millennia."

Ukrainian identity wasn't invented until the 1800's and consolidated until the Bolsheviks.

Our long history is with East Slavs (inc. Russians), not exclusively Ukrainians

Embarrassing!!!

An Azov Battalion fighter, who claimed to be Greek (but can’t speak Greek), addressed the Greek parliament.

All those who clapped to this should hang their heads in shame that those who oppressed the Greeks of Mariupol were given a platform in parliament.
"Including a message from an Azov Battalion member was wrong and inappropriate", said government spokesman Giannis Oikonomou.

I’d say it was VERY APPROPRIATE as it once again exposed the REAL Ukraine that the government and media are trying to pretend is a liberal bastion.
Opposition leader Alexis Tsipras said:

"The speech by members of the neo-Nazi Azov Battalion in the Greek Parliament is a challenge. It's a historic shame. Solidarity with the Ukrainian people is a given. But Nazis cannot have a say in parliament."

1) Russia says Azov are responsible for the Greek deaths in Mariupol. This aligns with Azov's treatment of Greeks since 2014 despite the naivety to this in Greece, which is proven by Greek media promoting the Azov battalion, who murdered a Greek 2 weeks ago for speaking Russian.
2) The Greek Foreign Ministry said that it has evidence that Russia is responsible for the bombing of Greeks in Sartana. However, it has not yet made that evidence available.
3) The Mayor of Mariupol, the same one who did nothing to control or dismantle the Azov Battalion, confirms that the Azov are currently participating in operations against Russian forces.

The murder of 10 Greeks from Russia’s bombardment yesterday doesn’t absolve the Azov Battalion for 7-8 years of war crimes and human rights violations in Mariupol - and against the Greek community. Some might have been naive to this, but I’ve been talking about this for years.
Even in 2014 The Guardian reported the extremism of the Azov Batallion in Mariupol. That’s why the Greek villages voted (2014) to join the Donetsk People’s Republic, but their villages ended up in Azov hands. Since then the Greeks have faced major problems amp.theguardian.com/world/2014/sep…
We ignored these crimes - The UN said when compared to the previous period, there was a 51% increase in Donbass casualties between February 1 and July 31 2021, accounting for 62 killed and wounded civilians. 81% of civilians died from Ukrainian shelling. ohchr.org/Documents/Coun…

BREAKING: 3 Greeks dead, 6 casualties in Sartana, Ukraine.
According to @MegaGegonota, three ethnic Greeks were killed in Sartana (Mariupol district).

"The Ukrainian army is defending itself vigorously."
The war has reignited where the Greeks of Eastern Ukraine are.

Greek media says three dead, Foreign Ministry has confirmed two. One of the injured Greeks of #Sartana #Mariupol is a child.

No confirmation on who is responsible, but it is *likely* Russia

Have a look here @jihadwatchRS. Another big slap for the misinformation portal "@TurkDNAProject".

Professor Celal Şengor: Anatolians only have 7% genes from Central Asia, we are Rûm (Greek) Muslims.

Expect in the near future a nice article that exposes the Eurogenes G25-based software - the one that no scientist uses and is NOT open source software, like propagandists you are.

The humiliation I've put against your propaganda is only beginning.
