How our Homeland could confront the Turkish threat

P. Kondylis: With the “defensive doctrine” Greece signs a priori her own conviction

 

During the 90ties, an inspiring intellectual creator, who was early gone, the late professor Panagiotis Kondylis, published in Greek language his book, the “Theory of War”, where he added a chapter about the Greco-Turkish relations. Relations that have become part of the actuality during the last weeks, with the constant threats of Turkey against Greece, which directly demands the Greek islands and puts the subject of the revision of the Lausanne Treaty!

 

Unfortunately, the words of Kondylis remained unheard and we have arrived in this current situation. Let us inspect some issues that were analyzed in his work, which are placed now ahead of us. 

 

The demographic statistics

 

During the last major conflict of the Hellenism with Turkey, the ratio of Greeks to Turks was 1 on 2, with the Greek population consisting–in majority- of young people! The following years the ratio became 1 on… 10(!!!) with the Turkish presenting a large rate of young people and the Greek with a large rate of elders. Let us see what P. Kondylis wrote regarding this issue: 

 

“After a while since the installation of Turkey and Greece in their approximately contemporary borders and also after the exchange of populations, Greece had 6.200.000 residents (1928 census) and Turkey 13.600.000 (1927 census), almost the double rate. Solely after a generation, this hiatus was doubled: Greece had a population of 8.400.000 residents (1961census) and Turkey 31.100.000 (1964 census), almost quadruplicate. Following one more generation, Greece had a population of 10.200.000 (1991 census), while Turkey has surpassed 62.000.000: the difference has become sextuple, while even more grave is the distance between the rates of increase. In Greece the demographic decrease has become an endemic situation, with the evident consequences to the economy and the defense, while in Turkey the population is augmented at least by 2% each year (for instance, at 1993 the births constituted 2,7% of the total and deaths 0,7%. So, from the 56.500.000 residents of the 1990 census to the contemporary rate of 61-62.000.000). This means that 1.000.000 people are added each year to the population of the country-an entire Greece every 7-8 years! In 2020 Turkey will have reached or surpassed the 100.000.000, meaning the sextuple will have become a tenfold, while in parallel Greece will have been completely transformed in a country of elders and will be extremely demographically pressed, from another point. The Albanian population, which today reaches totally 6.000.000 in Albania, Kosovo, Montenegro and the former republic of Macedonia, will have become at least even with the Greek population. As a matter of fact, Albania is the only European country, whose population was tripled, passing by 1.250.000 at 1945, to 3.400.000 today.”

 

SALVATION WILL NOT COME FROM EUROPE

 

Another crucial mendacity of the nationally dangerous political establishment that governors our country is the hypothesis that the entry of Greece in Europe equals with her salvation by the Turkish threat. Yet, how much realistic is this assumption? Here are the relative writings of P. Kondylis:

 

“While Greece was completely oriented in “Europe” in order to be reassured regarding the Turkish danger, this exact European orientation will de facto transform her into a satellite of Turkey. The Turkish influence will not be directly imposed-in a more subtle manner-through the European and American conduits, while it is not impossible that the Greek side, powerless and in the search of consolation or rationalization, will begin to consider these submissions towards Turkey as an clear duty of her Europeanization, given the fact that the “civilized people” that have overcome the “nationalistic atavism” do not start wars for so outdated reasons in our sophisticated world, such as the national sovereignty.”

 

THE ONLY SOLUTION

 

The geopolitical statistics favor overwhelmingly Turkey, while the time is by her side. Which would be the only solution towards the Turkish threat? Here is the answer: 

 

P. Kondylis: “Towards the general advantageous position of Turkey, Greek side would not have serious potentials of a military victory, is she could not find the strength and the determination to make the first (massive) blow, by making a surprise attack to the enemy. 

The first blow is not imposed by a “warlike” disposition, but according to the logic of the modern weapons systems: the logic of the means becomes independent, as we reported in our introductory remarks, and defines profoundly the orientation of the war strategic. 

If the Greek side, by the words “defensive doctrine” means, fearing that she would be exposed in front of the public opinion and the allies, that she intends in any case of (general)war to leave the lead and the advantage of the first (massive) blow to the enemy, then she probably has signed a priori her own conviction.”
