25.01.2022 We did it! Congratulations to Team Greece

25.01.2022 OXI DAY Today, on the 28th of October, Greeks worldwide celebrate the day in which Greek President Ioannis Metaxas in 1940 answered the Italian Ambassador to Greece, Emmanuelle Grazi’s, ultimatum. He proposed that the Greeks were to either allow the Italians to come in and occupy Greek lands, or a war would ensue. Metaxas’ response to this was, So this is war, followed by a resounding No. This began a 3 week battle between Mussolini’s fascist forces against the outnum...bered Greeks, who pushed the Italians back into Albania, and out of Greece. Because of this, Hitler was unable to go ahead with his planned advance into the Soviet Union, and instead had to divert his attention to the Greek problem that suddenly plagued him, which greatly changed the fate of Europe and the outcome of the war. Today we commemorate the heroic Greek soldiers who defended our homeland against foreign invaders, and who continued a long legacy of heroic Greek acts for our liberty. #oxiday #greece #28october1940 #Hellas #Freedom #No #liberation #peace #adelaide #Australia #greekdiaspora

17.01.2022 It is with deep sadness that we inform you of the passing of our Honorary President, Angelos Bouzalas, on Saturday 22nd May at the age of 86. Angelos was a Founding Father of the Messinian Association of South Australia Inc. After migrating to Australia from the proud Messinian village of Kleisoura, he established our Association in 1959 when he drafted and circulated an invitation calling all Messinians in Adelaide to a meeting for the purpose of forming an Association and a...pproving a Constitution. In just over 60 years the Association he built has grown into one of the biggest Hellenic organisations in Australia, with a thriving Community Center, Football Club and Greek Dance School. Angelos served our Association with pride and distinction since 1959. He was our first Secretary, President of the Executive Committee, President of the Auditing Committee and first Honorary President. However, Angelos’ proudest achievement was his 60 years of service as an active volunteer. Together with his wife Triada, he cooked at hundreds of Sunday BBQs, helped organise numerous Victor Harbor Australia Day picnics and dedicated countless hours at the Glendi Greek Festival Messinian tent. His presence, institutional knowledge and sense of humour will be deeply missed by all of us at the Messinian Association.

09.01.2022 Istanbul derives from Greek words ' " meaning 'into the city'. was built in the sixth century by the Byzantine Emperor Justinian, and was a Christian place of worship for almost 1,000 years. Constantinople was conquered by the Ottoman Turks after a bloody siege in 1453.The Ottomens turned the Christian orthodox church of Agia Sofia into a mosque. In the wake of World War 1, the new Turkish government did the right thing and turned Agia Sofia into a mus...eum, open to tourists from all over the world. Just days ago, Turkey announced it would formerly turn this beautiful museum into a Mosque, and that the first prayers would be held on the 24th of July. Greece's Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis has described the decision as one that offends those who see the site as "part of world cultural heritage". "This decision clearly affects not only Turkey’s relations with Greece but also its relations with the European Union, UNESCO and the world community as a whole," he said.
