A peculiar incident occurred a few days ago in the area of Kilkis, which is now making the Greek Defense Ministry look for excuses.
During a military test operation, military forces appeared to “control” citizens holding flags and banners with“Siriza” (the name of a left wing party) and “Peace” written on them.
The Ministry declared absolute ignorance of the incident after an official inquiry conducted in Parliament by the Greek Communist Party member Thanasis Pafilas and Siriza’s Theodoros Dritsas. The Ministry has asked for the operation to stop immediately, and to be informed in detail by the military officials of the area.
President of LAOS Mr.Karatzaferis intervened and said that the fact that the Ministry of Defense was not informed and the fact that this is probably an illegal operation are two totally different matters. Mr. Beglitis (deputy Minister) said that the Defense Ministry does not support such acts and he understands “the worries in reference to the procedure and the content of this operation, but I wouldn’t be too worried”. “Should there be responsibilities, there will be consequences” said Mr.Beglitis.
