The espionage incident between Hungary and
Ukraine shows how far behind Greece has fallen on the front of the Black Sea
and in relation to shareable territories.
Recently, the Ukrainian counterintelligence
arrested agents of the Hungarian military intelligence in Transcarpathia in Western
Ukraine. They were recording Ukraine's defensive capabilities in the area.
Among the information gathered by the Hungarian agents from local residents were responses to the question of how they would behave in the event of a Hungarian military incursion in the region.
Additionally, expulsions of diplomats
between Hungary and Ukraine have begun; similar to those that occurred between
the West and Russia. This is a clear sign of the deterioration of relations
between the two countries.
Hungary claims territories from Ukraine, as do Poland and Romania. When the Ukrainian state is carved up by its Western "allies," Greece must not be left out of the distribution process.
We must prepare now. We need to assert claims based on historical, cultural, and demographic arguments. Even if there was never an indication of Greek presence in an area that will soon be considered Terra Nullius (No Man's Land), we must claim it. The neo-Ottoman Davutoğlu had written that even if a single Turk existed in Cyprus, we must claim Cyprus.
When a state collapses, its territories are divided among those who assert claims and can support their demands with force.
Greece must not abandon Odessa and the Black Sea coasts to the control of other states. From Odessa to Mariupol, we must assert territorial claims.
We need to organize lectures, publish pamphlets, draw maps of the Black Sea territories we consider our own, write articles, engage in propaganda, and practice public diplomacy, beyond and above the anti-Greek regime.
We must pursue behind-the-scenes exploratory contacts with countries that also claim territories in the temporarily controlled areas of Ukraine and coordinate our actions to avoid conflicts among ourselves when the inevitable occurs, namely, the dissolution of the Ukrainian state.
The longer we delay, the worse it will be for Greece. Right now, a unique opportunity presents itself. After several centuries, we will have the chance to revive Hellenism in the Black Sea region and to expand the strategic borders of Hellenism.
If we do not take action, the neo-Ottoman
Turkey will do so, as it seeks to expand its borders into the Tauric Peninsula
(Crimea). Therefore, this is not only an issue of Greek prestige; it is a
matter of national security. If we allow Turkey to reach Odessa, we will have
committed a crime against future generations.
Politicians, journalists, military personnel, demonstrators, academics, and ordinary citizens must unite for the expansion of Greece to the North. Greek troops must be sent to the areas we are claiming under the pretext of a peacekeeping mission. Gradually, they will turn into a force of exclusive control over the territories, and eventually, they will assist in their annexation to Greek territory.
We do not know if the Ukrainian state will dissolve in 2 or 10 years. What we do know is that we must incorporate whatever we are entitled to from the ancient Greek heritage of this region.
If Russians, Turks, Romanians, Poles, and Hungarians benefit from the dissolution of Ukraine and Greece does not, we will prove unworthy heirs of our heroic ancestors.
And anyone who repeats the well-known refrain, "with those who govern us, what you say is not possible," means that they have no connection to political history; as if in 1821 we had political and religious authority on our side.
