The re-enactment of the Naval Battle of Navarino was watched by those who were at the port of Pylos last night – Reaction from the Russian embassy for not being invited to the events

The impressive representation of the Naval Battle of Navarino was watched by those present last night in the port of Pylos, on the occasion of the 195th anniversary of the Naval Battle.

The program of the event still included local traditional dances, while the evening ended with fireworks and sparklers.

Russia was not invited to the anniversary events, due to the war in Ukraine, which caused the reaction of the Russian embassy in our country.

In the relevant tweet of the Russian Embassy in Athens, it is underlined that it is the first time that a Russian delegation has not been invited to the celebrations in Pylos, effectively making an excuse for “falsification of history”.

It states in detail: “For the first time the representatives of the Russian Embassy were not invited to the celebrations of the 195th anniversary of the Battle of Navarino. The question is often asked: what is “the falsification of history”? They showed us a good example today.”

A few hours earlier, however, the Russian Foreign Ministry had referred to the 195th anniversary of the Naval Battle of Navarino and the contribution of Russia, Britain and France to the victory against the Ottoman fleet, stressing that after this “epic naval battle the Greece was finally led to its independence”.
