Video with her His Daily Order for its National Anniversary October 28, 1940addressing the Officers, Non-Commissioned Officers, Soldiers, Sailors, Sergeants, National Guardsmen, Reservists and the Political Staff of Armed Forces, the Minister of National Defense published Nikos Dendias.

In his message, Mr. Dendias speaks of “relentless times”, something about which “we should have no illusions”, while he added that “in order for Greece to be able to formulate an autonomous National discourse in the Eastern Mediterranean, it should have a sufficient National Deterrence Force. In any other case, she is expected to be finnished and constantly subjugated to the will of the powerful.”

The entire message of Nikos Dendias:

“Officers, Non-Commissioned Officers, Soldiers, Sailors, Servicemen, National Guardsmen, Reservists and Civilian Personnel,

October 28 is a milestone in our National Continuity.

National Anniversaries and parades gain value when they function as mechanisms for projecting the Historical Example and the National Narrative.

What we honor today is the choice of attitude to life and national dignity.

85 years ago, our forefathers stood squarely against the encroaching Fascism and Nazism, beyond all correlation and realism.

It was expressed, with “NO”, the will of the Nation to remain free, defending the values ​​that guide our national course through time.

The collective will to resist was expressed.

And many of our ancestors sacrificed their most precious commodity, their lives, as the price of this attitude and this decision.

The Greek People, aware of its historical continuity, will rephrase “NO” as a self-evident response to attempts to challenge National Sovereignty and our Sovereign Rights provided for by International Law.

On the basis of this understanding, our Homeland marches with a compass: it honors the past and shapes the future.

With “Agenda 2030” as a road map of deep reform, with the new Force Structure, the 12-year Long-term Defense Equipment Planning, the introduction of cutting-edge technologies and the innovation ecosystem, we are unquestionably building the most powerful and modern Armed Forces in the history of New Greece.

To be able to support any “NO” will need to be formulated in the future.

Because we must have no illusions.

The times ahead are relentless.

In order for Greece to be able to formulate an autonomous National discourse in the Eastern Mediterranean, it should have a sufficient National Deterrence force.

In any other case, Finnishization and permanent submission to the will of the powerful awaits her.

In the parade of October 28, the Greek people will see the first tangible imprint of the Armed Forces of the New Era.

It is the realization of a strategy that is grounded in National tradition and grounded in knowledge, technology and people — the triptych that constitutes the new identity of our Armed Forces.

This strategy can be implemented thanks to you, the officers of the Armed Forces, who serve your mission with dedication and professionalism.

To each and every one of you serving in the Armed Forces, I express my deepest respect and sincere gratitude for your selfless dedication to your constitutional duty.

You are the living guarantee of National Security, dignity and pride of the Greek Nation.

Inspired by the example of 1940, continue to serve with consistency, discipline, fortitude and awareness of responsibility.

Long live October 28, 1940.

Long live the Armed Forces.

Long live the Nation.”
