"Our allies", the memoranda, and the lack of national policy - Article by N. G. Michaloliakos
“It’s far better for the Greeks to run dispersed in the world, begging with outstretched hands, THAN BE UNDER PROTECTORS.
The foreign hand that offers protection to the nations has smothered and still chokes the peoples, from yesteryears until forever!”.
ANDREAS KALVOS
In the Second World War, Greece said a proud NO to the Italians and declared her support to the “allies” that were eventually the winners of the Great War, the result of which still defines the international situations. Many dreams, hopes, and desires were born in the hearts of the Greek people for the vindication of our Nation after the occupational slavery and the final end of the war. We were talking about Northern Epirus, Cyprus, and the Dodecanese. In the end, none of these materialized! The characteristic vignette that Pavlos Paleologos wrote in 1946, after the peace conference in Paris, where we got absolutely nothing, asked for all the bells across the country to toll mournfully.
The defeated winners…
We finally got only the Dodecanese, and even that not immediately after the war, but in 1948! A Greek region where Hellenism has roots that reach down to the depth of history; the same Dodecanese that are currently claimed with audacity by Erdogan and the new Ottomans, who are challenging our sovereignty. As for the Northern Epirus, darkness and silence prevailed, and black slavery under the red tyrant Hoxha that persecuted the Greeks, but this is not perceived as a problem by the local Bolsheviks that praise him at every opportunity and consider him to be a hero.
As we know, Cyprus walked her own road to Calvary in 1974, when she was “crucified” by the Turkish forces of the Operation Attila, and has been on that cross ever since - still waiting for the National Resurrection! The only one brave enough to refer the matter to the UN was the courageous Marshal Papagos! He took the initiative against the enslaved to foreign powers postwar status quo, which was actually an establishment of the cold war era.
We should note that during the voting in the UN all of “our allies” along with the new “ally” Turkey, voted against Greece - except for the small and proud Iceland.
The basic principle of the winners of the Second World War was the freedom and the self-determination of peoples, but it was never applied to the Greek Cypriots, who were under British occupation. Then came the Heroic National Struggle of EOKA during which our British “allies” were hanging Greek children in the blood-covered land of our Cyprus. All those who praised our resistance to the Italian invasion in the 1940’s, kept their silence about Cyprus, without any guilt, without shame.
The guilty silence of the "allies"
Even though we fought and spilled our blood on their side, our former comrades in arms chose to support the Turkish interests over the Greek ones, not only in Cyprus but in many other issues as well. They hushed up the uprooting of the Greeks from Constantinople, Imbros and Tenedos, despite our efforts for the sake of the so-called… “alliance”, which offered nothing to our Nation. Under the pressure of this “alliance”, we sacrificed our national interests by recognizing Tito's Yugoslavia that cultivated irredentism against Greece and had within its territory the federal republic of “Macedonia” - the current state of Skopje! But since Tito had been in conflict with Stalin, we had to become likeable to Tito, and thus, we could have no objection to the agreements that harmed our national interests.
Within the framework of this notorious alliance, and for the sake of it, the Greek State (or rather the pseudo- Roman) allowed Turkey to develop influential and powerful propaganda mechanisms within the Muslims of the Greek Thrace, leading to the current problems in the region, which can be illustrated by the recent speech that Erdogan himself delivered -where he talked about the Turkish “borders of the heart” that reach Thessaloniki- and the meetings organized under the flag of the independent Western Thrace, where Members of the Greek parliament took part.
In 1974, Greece was betrayed -once again- by her “allies”; the UN “condemned” the invasion in a rhetoric speech, without taking further actions against Turkey. Nevertheless, seventeen years after the Turks invaded Cyprus, Iraq and Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait, and we suddenly witnessed the UN deciding a military invasion to protect Kuwait's independence. It seems that for the UN and our “allies” the sheikhs with their oil were humans, but the Greeks of Cyprus who were slaughtered and uprooted from their ancestral homes, were not!
Hopes and desires for a real national freedom
Unfortunately, in our country there is still complete absence of any national policy against the betrayal of the “allies” or the aggressiveness of Turkey. Even today that there is no communist threat, and the country is governed by communists, the statement “we belong to the West” remains the untouchable dogma of our foreign affairs policy employed by a government enslaved to foreign powers, a policy suitable for a political protectorate and not a free and independent national state.
We are told that Obama, the current president of the USA, will bring a proposal in order to resolve the Cyprus issue. However, this proposal is nothing more than a sad repetition of the Annan plan. A proposition that leads to the complete Turkification of a martyred island that has always been Greek. All these are accompanied by declarations from the “Sultan” Erdogan, who said that if we deny the “solution” the Turks support for the Cyprus problem, they will send one million settlers in the occupied parts of Cyprus. But we play it cool; we remain cold-blooded like the snakes that crawl the earth, without developing a national policy against the plans for the extinction of Hellenism that have been put in motion by foreign powers such as our notorious “allies”.
In 2021 it will be two hundred years from the day when the spilt blood of the Children of our Nation wrote in gold letters the word FREEDOM in History. Two hundred years following our “allies”; two hundred years without a national policy, even though during the years of the Great Uprising, Andreas Kalvos wrote the inspired lyrics that describe how the “protectors” become tyrants in the end.
And even though Kalvos said that the hand offered by a foreign nation is the hand of slavery and subjugation, those who have governed and continue to dominate our Fatherland, seem to have learned nothing. That is why it is our debt to history, and will always be our living hope and desire, to see Hellenism achieving a real National Freedom. This is the primary aim our Nation should have, instead of continuously seeking loans from the usurers that covet our land, our soul, our history.
