Armed Forces Intervention in Post-War Turkey: a Methodological Approach of Greek Newspapers Through Political Analyses
PHOKION KOTZAGEORGIS ARMED FORCES INTERVENTION IN POST-WAR TURKEY: A METHODOLOGICAL APPROACH OF GREEK NEWSPAPERS THROUGH POLITICAL ANALYSES The Press as a political-social phenomenon may influence the forma tion of one’s conscience, make or break governments and influence public opinion in a decisive way. As an institution it may play an extremely important role in the writing of a countiy’s contemporary history. It is only recently that this last function of the Press has become the object of scientific research, resulting in the first attempts to write history using newspapers as the basic source. The present article aspires to contribute to the process of ‘deciphering’ the role played by the Press in the formulation or crystallisation of behaviours, political or other, vis-a-vis given facts or phenomena. The article aims at signposting the methodological principles in the presentation by the Greek newspapers of an external affairs event and its use by the political affairs editors of these newspapers. This article was con ceived in the course of study of the political game in Turkey as the prominence of the role of the army in that country became evident to the author. The actual cases of army intervention will not be dealt with here; what is of in terest is the reaction of the newspapers to the three military interventions in the political life of Turkey. In date order these took place on 27 May 1960, 12 March 1971 and 12 September 1980. The sources chosen are newspapers easily accessible to the public, of differing political persuasions; the time terminus of study is one month be fore and one after the date of intervention of the military. -

In the absence of strong criticism, selected clergy, journalists, and politicians have brought their extreme views into mainstream discussion, the effect of which seeds anti-Semitic views within the larger Greek population. Manifestation of anti-Semitism in Reporting and Commentary on the Middle East Crisis Anti-Israeli sentiment regarding the ongoing Israeli/Palestinian conflict and perceived threats to the Greek Orthodox Christian culture, continue to fuel the majority of anti-Semitic comments and incidents reported in the Greek media. -

2015 Greece Country Report | SGI Sustainable Governance Indicators
Sustainable Governance Indicators SGI 2015 Greece Report Dimitri A. Sotiropoulos, Kevin Featherstone, Roy Karadag (Coordinator) SGI 2015 | 2 Greece Report Executive Summary During the period under review, Greece made progress with regard to fiscal consolidation and structural reforms, including the liberalization of labor relations and formerly closed occupations, and the privatizations of a few state-owned enterprises. In addition, the banking system became much more stable. The quality of democracy, however, did not improve as greatly. The coalition government of the center-right New Democracy (ND) party and the center-left Panhellenic Socialist Movement (PASOK) party, pressed by the Troika (the European Commission, European Central Bank and IMF), adopted policies through decrees, circumventing the parliament. These decrees were issued in the face of strong opposition from the radical left party (Syriza) and the communist party (KKE) as well as parties on the right (both the populist- nationalist Independent Greeks party and the neo-Nazi Golden Dawn party). Moreover, reactions from disaffected interest groups and social movements continued in the form of violent demonstrations and occupations of government buildings. After the successive elections of May and June 2012, a tripartite coalition government was formed: ND, PASOK and the moderate Democratic Left (Dimokratiki Aristera, DIMAR) party. This tripartite coalition lasted only until June 2013, when the prime minister and leader of ND, Antonis Samaras, ordered the closure of the public broadcaster (ERT), including all state TV and radio stations in Greece. This abrupt move allowed the government to meet the Troika’s quota for public employee dismissals, but also provoked the exit of DIMAR from the coalition government. -

Introduction During the aggression on the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina, many volunteers from Orthodox countries fought in the army of the Republika Srpska (VRS). Among them were Ukrainians, Romanians, Greeks, and Russians, to name the most obvious. However, the most interesting are the Greeks:1 first, Greek fighters took part in the genocide in Srebrenica; second, the Greek government and a large part of the public supported and approved their actions. Orthodox Christian foreign fighters in the VRS are often called ‘‘mercenaries,’’ which is inaccurate, since they fought for ideology and not for money. -

The Phenomenon of Antiquity in Italy and in Greece As a Major Threat to Cultural Heritage
THE American Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences 2021 Research (THE AJHSSR) E-ISSN: 2581-8868 Volume-04, Issue-01, pp-132-141 www.theajhssr.com Research Paper Open Access The Phenomenon of Antiquity in Italy and In Greece as a Major Threat to Cultural Heritage. 1,Manola Maria, 2,Koltsikoglou G 1,Member University of Western Attica, Department of Tourism 2,Master of International Law (L.L.M) from the University of Teramo (Italy) ABSTRACT This article informs about the crime of cultural heritage. In addition to the analysis of the issue, it focuses on the presentation of the phenomenon of organized crime and an aspect that has not been thoroughly investigated and is the reintegration of robberies as a cultural vehicle in the daily lives of citizens. The destructive event of antiquity, which has deep roots in both Greece and Italy and consequently worldwide, is destructive to culture and the cultural identity of people. In recent years, it has become common for cultural property to be sold off through organized crime, either online or through auctions and bargained for profit. This occurrence has become enormous worldwide and for this reason you make the need to preserve and safeguard the world heritage imperative. KEYWORDS: culture, organized crime, antiquities, Caravaggio, Police crime, stealing ancient’s artefacts, Looters, illicit trade in antiquities, smuggling of antiquities, civilization, cultural heritage. I. CRIME AND CRIMINAL ORGANIZATIONS "Organized crime classify as any business or group of individuals involved in ongoing illegal activity, whose primary purpose is to make a profit regardless of national borders.1" Crime is either personal or organized. -
Greece: Media Concentration and Independent Journalism Between
Chapter 5 Greece Media concentration and independent journalism between austerity and digital disruption Stylianos Papathanassopoulos, Achilleas Karadimitriou, Christos Kostopoulos, & Ioanna Archontaki Introduction The Greek media system reflects the geopolitical history of the country. Greece is a mediumsized European country located on the southern part of the Balkan Peninsula. By the middle of the nineteenth century, it had just emerged from over four centuries of Ottoman rule. Thus, for many decades, the country was confronted with the task of nationbuilding, which has had considerable consequences on the formation of the overextended character of the state (Mouzelis, 1980). The country measures a total of 132,000 square kilometres, with a population of nearly 11 million citizens. About 4 million people are concentrated in the wider metropolitan area of the capital, Athens, and about 1.2 million in the greater area of Thessaloniki. Unlike the population of many other European countries, almost all Greeks – about 98 per cent of the popu lation – speak the same language, modern Greek, as their mother tongue, and share the same Greek Orthodox religion. Politically, Greece is considered a parliamentary democracy with “vigorous competition between political par ties” (Freedom House 2020). Freedom in the World 2021: status “free” (Score: 87/100, up from 84 in 2017). Greece’s parliamentary democracy features vigorous competition between political parties […]. Ongoing concerns include corruption [and] discrimina- tion against immigrants and minorities. (Freedom House, 2021) Liberal Democracy Index 2020: Greece is placed in the Top 10–20% bracket – rank 27 of measured countries (Varieties of Democracy Institute, 2021). Freedom of Expression Index 2018: rank 47 of measured countries, down from 31 in 2016 (Varieties of Democracy Institute, 2017, 2019).
