  • The Statistical Battle for the Population of Greek Macedonia
    XII. The Statistical Battle for the Population of Greek Macedonia by Iakovos D. Michailidis Most of the reports on Greece published by international organisations in the early 1990s spoke of the existence of 200,000 “Macedonians” in the northern part of the country. This “reasonable number”, in the words of the Greek section of the Minority Rights Group, heightened the confusion regarding the Macedonian Question and fuelled insecurity in Greece’s northern provinces.1 This in itself would be of minor importance if the authors of these reports had not insisted on citing statistics from the turn of the century to prove their points: mustering historical ethnological arguments inevitably strengthened the force of their own case and excited the interest of the historians. Tak- ing these reports as its starting-point, this present study will attempt an historical retrospective of the historiography of the early years of the century and a scientific tour d’horizon of the statistics – Greek, Slav and Western European – of that period, and thus endeavour to assess the accuracy of the arguments drawn from them. For Greece, the first three decades of the 20th century were a long period of tur- moil and change. Greek Macedonia at the end of the 1920s presented a totally different picture to that of the immediate post-Liberation period, just after the Balkan Wars. This was due on the one hand to the profound economic and social changes that followed its incorporation into Greece and on the other to the continual and extensive population shifts that marked that period. As has been noted, no fewer than 17 major population movements took place in Macedonia between 1913 and 1925.2 Of these, the most sig- nificant were the Greek-Bulgarian and the Greek-Turkish exchanges of population under the terms, respectively, of the 1919 Treaty of Neuilly and the 1923 Lausanne Convention.

  • Kritan University of Thrace, Edited by GK Papazoglou, N
    Book Reviews 1 19 APO-PHONIS - Workshop of Palaeography, Scientific Yearbook, the Demo- kritan University of Thrace, edited by G. K. Papazoglou, no. I, 2000- 2001, Komotini 2001, pp. 225. The Palaeography Workshop of the Department of History and Ethnology at the Demokritan University of Thrace and its director Professor G. K. Papa­ zoglou have published the first volume of its scientific yearbook which bears the apt title Apo-Phonis; the title originates from a definition in the dictionary of C. Dulange, Glossarium mediae et infimae graecitatis, Lugduni 1688, II, 1717, a definition which, as rendered in the sub-title of the yearbook, has the following as clarification: Ex ore vel docentis vel Conversantis —a term, that is to say, quite clearly palaeographic. As well as signalling the contents, it indicates the character of the publication which is obviously both palaeographic and codicological. The yearbook contains six studies, three miscellaneous articles and nine book-reviews. In the first study, Mr G. K. Papazoglou gives his attention to New Unknown Manuscripts of the Phanariot Scholar Nikolaos Karatzas, a scholar of the eighteenth century who had established one of the richest private libraries, which after his death was dispersed to other libraries both private and public, chiefly, as no often happens, abroad. Mr Papazoglou has located seven manuscripts: in Trinity College, no. 932 of the year 1672; in the British Museum Additament, no. 10,014 of the 16th century and no. 18,190 of the 16th/l7th century; in the Paris Suppl. Gr. no. 1,380 of the 16th century; in the Sinai Monastery no.

    The trail from Palaia Kavala to Kavala This fascinating trail links the settlement of Palaia Kavala with the city of Kavala. This is a relatively gentle 10.5km trail which crosses a typical Mediterranean landscape of kermes (downy) oaks, junipers, elms, maples and oriental hornbeams. It winds along streams with lush vegetation and water dominating throughout. The trail is well signposted and provides many viewpoints with resting places allowing for a not-too-strenuous hike along a route of particular environmental and historical interest. The first part of the trail is about 5.5km long, leading to Mana tou nerou (= mother of the water ) which provided the main source of water for Kavala over the centuries. The second section of 5km, continuing from Mana tou nerou to Agios Konstantinos in the northern outskirts of the town, has long been known as “the waterway”. This follows the water channel, which conveyed water to the rocky peninsula of Panaghia , where the historic part of the city is situated. The trail crosses bridges, fountains and purifying cisterns of the medieval aqueduct of Kavala, highlighting a centuries-old water route and a great historic public construction. 1 Palaia Kavala, the starting point of the trail, has enormous historical and environmental resonance, being in close proximity to several archaeological sites such as Philippi and the prehistoric Dikili Tash . The trail’s end, Kavala, with the Kamares , the Panaghia peninsula and the castle further emphasise its cultural importance. 2 PALAIA KAVALA Distance : 5,667.5 m Time : 2-2.5 hrs Difficulty rate : easy MANA TOU NEROU From Palaia Kavala to ...”Mana tou nerou” Palaia Kavala, in the foothills of the Lekani mountain range, is the starting point of the trail and can be reached either from the Kavala-Drama road by following the signs for Zygos and Palaia Kavala or, alternatively, from the Kavala-Xanthi road by turning leſt at the Chalkero junction and following the signs for Palaia Kavala.

Here we show that the elastic flexure dynamics of the uplifting southern shoulder of the rapidly-extending, asymmetric Corinth Rift (Greece) are recorded in 3D by its fluvial network. We explore the evolution of the mechanical flexure of the lithosphere at rift full length by means of DEM-based river profile analysis of a series

  • A Funerary Relief of a 'Barbarian' from Soufli In
    doi: 10.2143/AWE.16.0.3214934 AWE 16 (2017) 63-95 A FUNERARY RELIEF OF A ‘BARBARIAN’ FROM SOUFLI IN THE ALEXANDROUPOLIS COLLECTION (GREECE)* DIMITRA ANDRIANOU Abstract Relief no. 4 from the Alexandroupolis Collection is an exceptional relief in many ways. It is part of a register-stele (Stockwerkstele), now partially preserved. The lower and better preserved register depicts a rider hunting in the heroic fashion; a smaller figure stands above the legs of the horse. Certain details allow us to identify the rider as a soldier in the Roman auxilia and the smaller figure as his clerk. The relief is important not only for its iconogra- phy, but also because it provides evidence for the presence of auxilia in the Hebros region in the late 2nd or 3rd century AD. Aegean Thrace, a modern, conventional designation, is the south-western and small- est section of ancient Thrace, bordered by the Nestos river to the west, the Hebros river to the east, Mt Rhodope to the north and the Aegean Sea to the south, all natural borders.1 Being a fruitful plain, it was already inhabited in the Palaeolithic period and according to the literary sources and the rapidly emerging archaeological evidence, various Thracian tribes dwelt in the area before Greek colonisation and lived side-by-side with the Greek colonists. The literary sources clearly state that Thracians resided on Thasos and Samothrace before the arrival of the Greeks and were their adversaries at Abdera and in the Strymon valley.2 The first Greek settlers arrived before the middle of the 7th century.

  • Just Transition History, Developments and Challenges in Greece and Europe
    Just Transition History, Developments and Challenges in Greece and Europe Text: Ioanna Theodosiou, Policy Officer, Τhe GreenTank Nikos Mantzaris, Senior Policy Analyst, Τhe GreenTank Cover design: Chryssavgi Daskala Cover photo: © TheGreenTank For citation: The GreenTank (2020) “Just Transition: History, Development and Challenges in Greece and Europe”. Copyright © The Green Tank, 2020 50 Vas.Sofias Avenue, Athens 11528, Greece T. +30 210 7233384 https://thegreentank.gr Email: [email protected] Executive Summary The course of the energy mix in Greece and Europe shows that the era of lignite and coal is over. The big issue now is for this irreversible energy transition to climate neutrality to take place in a just way for those communities that for decades have sacrificed their own quality of life in order to support the development of the European economy. Currently, the future of coal regions is at the center of the political scene in Europe, due to the channeling of significant financial resources to turn local economies towards a sustainable trajectory, while in Greece the decision of a forward-bearing lignite phase out by 2023 makes this challenge even more urgent. The Just Transition of lignite regions is the biggest sustainable development challenge in the country. As such, it will serve as a compass for the success of the whole European Green Deal and a true test for Europe’s commitment to the values of solidarity and social justice. The history of Just Transition of coal regions since 2015, when the global community reached the historic Paris Agreement to date offers valuable lessons learned which can and must be taken into account during this critical and very “dense” period we are going through, on the one hand, to avoid mistakes of the past and, on the other, to continue good practices that contributed to progress so far.
