9CHIEF of HELLENIC NATIONAL DEFENCE GENERAL STAFF

Greece is in the middle of a rec-tangle that consists of the Balkans, Middle East, North Africa and Cau-casus. Greece also lies at the cross-roads of the sea lines of communica-tion spreading from North to South, connecting the Black Sea and the Indian Ocean with the North Atlantic Ocean, through the Mediterranean Sea.

The Hellenic Defence Policy aims to safeguard the national integ-rity and sovereignty, protect national vital interests, establish, maintain and further promote Security and Stability in the Hellenic periphery and beyond, through participation in initiatives to enhance Bilateral and

Multilateral cooperation and by contributing to international efforts concerning Crisis Management, Peace Support Operations and Reconstruction & Stabiliza-tion initiatives as well.

Additionally, the main parameters of Hellenic National Defence Policy (NDP) are driven by the need to confront the current and emerging threats and risks against the country. Especially, NDP places emphasis on defence against the so-called assymetric and hybrid threats such as international terrorism.

The Hellenic Armed Forces (HAF) are one of the strongest military powers

in Europe. Despite the current nancial situation, Greece spends almost 2% of its GDP for the Armed Forces, being among the 5 top countries within NATO and EU, concerning defence expenses.

Historical reasons and the geostrategical position of Greece, call for HAF to make great efforts concerning the military training of all the services and all ranks. Students of military academies up to senior level of cers, have to attend techni-cal, tactical, staff and special courses as well.

Greece makes an effort to provide a series of all level courses, in the Greek or the English language, to the military personnel all around the world, who feel that training in Greece could help their improvement. I believe that it is widely un-derstandable that few safety exemptions for some courses do exist due to NATO or EU commitments.

It will be a great pleasure for the HAF personnel to offer their experience trying to assist other military personnel, achieving thus a worldwide cooperation and friendship. Besides, we simultaneously offer our exceptional climate condi-tions and our attractive historical or tourist sites, in conjunction with our famous Hellenic Hospitality, known as loxenia.

GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT GREECE

Greece

General

Greece, its of cial name being the Hellenic Republic and known since antiquity as Hellas, is a democratic developed country in Southern Europe. According to the 2011 census, the population of Greece is 10.815.197.

Modern Greece traces its roots to the civilization of Ancient Greece. Considered the cradle of all Western civilizations, Greece is the birthplace of democracy, Western philosophy, the Olympic Games, Western literature and historiography, political science, major scienti c and mathematical principles and the Western drama including both tragedy and comedy. The cultural and technological achievements of Greece in uenced greatly the world.

Greece is a founding member of the United Nations, it was the 10th country to join the EU (former EEC European Economic Community) in 1981, the 12th to join the European Economic and Monetary Union (Eurozone) in 2001 and is also a member of numerous other international organizations, including NATO, the Council of Europe, the Union for the Mediterranean, OECD, BSEC, OSCE, IMF and WTO.

Geography

Athens is the capital and the largest city. The second largest city is Thessaloniki. Other prominent cities with urban populations above 100.000 include those of Patras, Heraklion, Larissa, Volos, Rhodes, Ioannina, Chania and Chalcida.

Greece is in the middle of a rectangle consisting of the Balkans, Middle East, North Africa and Caucasus. It also lies at the crossroads of the sea lines of communication spreading from North to South, connecting the Black Sea and the Indian Ocean with the North Atlantic Ocean, through the Mediterranean Sea.

The total area of Greece is 131.957 Km2, of which the land is 130.647 Km2 and the lakes/ rivers is 1.310 Km2.

The land borders is 1.228 Km, of which 282 Km with Albania, 246 Km with FYROM, 494 Km with Bulgaria and 206 Km with Turkey.

The Aegean Sea lies to the east of the mainland, the Ionian Sea to the west, and the Mediterranean Sea to the south. Greece has the longest coastline in the Mediterranean Basin and the 20th longest coastline in the world at 13,676 km in length, featuring a vast number of islands, more than 2.000.

12


80% of Greece consists of mountains or hills, making the country one of the most mountainous in Europe. Mount Olympus, the mythical residence of the Greek Gods, culminates in Mytikas peak 2,917 m, the highest in the country. Western Greece contains a number of lakes and wetlands and is dominated by the Pindus mountain range. The Pindus, reaches a maximum elevation of 2,637 m at Mount Smolikas (the second highest in Greece).

The spectacular Vikos Gorge at Pindus Range, the Samaria Gorge at Crete, the Meteora rocks, where Greek Orthodox monasteries have been built, the Rhodope range, the famous Dadia forest in the Evros area, are just some of the places with not only great geographical or environmental but tourist ineterest as well.

Rare marine species such as the pinniped seals and the loggerhead sea turtle (monachus monachus) live in the seas surrounding mainland Greece, while its dense forests are home to the endangered brown bear, the lynx, the roe deer and the wild goat.

The climate of Greece is primarily Mediterranean, featuring mild, wet winters and hot, dry summers.

13


History

The earliest evidence of the presence of human ancestors in the Balkans, is to be found in the Petralona cave, in Macedonia area. All three stages of the stone age (Paleolithic, Mesolithic, and Neolithic) are represented in Greece. Neolithic settlements in Greece, dating from the 7th millennium BC, are the oldest in Europe.

Greece is home to the rst advanced civilizations in Europe and is considered the birthplace of Western civilization, beginning with the Cycladic civilization on the islands of the Aegean Sea at around 3200 BC, the Minoan civilization in Crete (27001500 BC), and then the Mycenaean civilization on the mainland (16001100 BC). Last but not least, 776 BC, is the year of the rst Olympic Games.

In 508 BC, Cleisthenes instituted the worlds rst democratic system of government in Athens.

Persia invaded Greece in 492 BC, but was forced to withdraw after a defeat at the Battle of Marathon in 490 BC. he Battle of Marathon is often seen as a pivotal moment in European history, since the following two hundred years the Classical Greek civilization rised, which has been enduringly in uential in western society and civilization. A second invasion by the Persians followed in 480 BC. Despite a heroic resistance at Thermopylae by Spartans and other Greeks (the 300) led by King Leonidas, Persian forces sacked Athens. Due to successive Greek victories in 480 and 479 BC at Salamis, Plataea and Mycale, the Persians were forced to withdraw for a second time.

Following the assassination of Phillip II, who was the rst to unify the Greek states, his son Alexander III The Great, leading the Greek forces, launched an invasion of the Persian Empire in 334 BC. Following Greek victories in the battles of Granicus, Issus and Gaugamela, the Greeks marched on Susa and Persepolis, the ceremonial capital of Persia, in 330 BC. The Empire created by Alexander the Great extended from Greece in the west to Pakistan in the east, and Egypt in the south.

Alexanders sudden death in 323 BC marked the collapse of the vast empire, which was split into several kingdoms. Although the political unity of Alexanders empire could not be maintained, it brought about the dominance of Hellenistic civilization and the Greek language in the territories conquered by Alexander for at least two centuries.

The history of the Byzantine Empire begins with the division of the single Roman Empire by Emperor Diocletian in 286 AD and the Founding of Constantinople as the capital of the Empire, by Constantine I in 330 AD. Its language and literary culture was Greek and its religion was Eastern Orthodox Christian. The Byzantine Empire in the east, following the fall of the Roman Empire in the west, lasted until 1453, when Ottomans occupied Constantinople.

14


n 25 March 1821, the Greeks declared war on the Ottomans. The Peloponnesian revolt was quickly followed by revolts in Crete, Macedonia and Central Greece. Meanwhile, the Greek navy was achieving success against the Ottoman navy in the Aegean Sea and prevented Ottoman reinforcements from arriving by sea. In 1822 and 1824 the Turks and Egyptians ravaged the islands, including Chios and Psara, committing wholesale massacres of the population. This had the effect of galvanizing public opinion in western Europe in favor of the Greek rebels. Some of the historical places for this period were Agia Laura, Tripolis (Tripolitsa), Mesollogi, Arkadi, Souli and well known leaders were Kolokotronis, Karaiskakis, Mavromichalis and many others.

In 1827 Ioannis Kapodistrias, from Corfu, was chosen as the rst governor of the new Republic. As a result of years of negotiation, the Greek state was nally recognized under the London Protocol in 1830.

After the two Balkans Wars (1912, 1913) and the two World Wars (1914-1919, 1939-1945), Greece took its nal, as today, shape.

On 28 October 1940, Fascist Italy demanded the surrender of Greece, but the Greek administration refused and in the following Greco-Italian War, Greece repelled Italian forces into Albania, giving the Allies their rst victory over Axis forces on land. The Greek struggle and victory against the Italians, followed by the heroic resistance against the German armed forces at Rouppel (Metaxas Line), offering the appropriate delay to the German campaign against Russia, received exuberant praise at the time.

15


Most prominent is the quote of Winston Churchill:

Hence we will not say that Greeks ght like heroes, but we will say that heroes ght like Greeks.

French general Charles De Gaulle expressed his admiration for the heroic Greek resistance:

In the name of the captured yet still alive French people, France wants to send her greetings to the Greek people who are ghting for their freedom. The 25 March 1941 nds Greece in the peak of their heroic struggle and in the top of their glory. Since the Battle of Salamis, Greece had not achieved the greatness and the glory which today holds.

Adolf Hitler himself recognised the bravery and the courage of the Greek army, stating in his address to the Reichstag on 11 December 1941 that:

Historical justice obliges me to state that of the enemies who took up positions against us, the Greek soldier particularly fought with the highest courage. He capitulated only when further resistance had become impossible and useless.

Greece was eventually occupied by the Nazis who proceeded to administer Athens and Thessaloniki, while other regions of the country were given to Nazi Germanys partners, Fascist Italy and Bulgaria. The occupation brought terrible hardships for the Greek civilian population. Over 100.000 civilians died of starvation during the winter of 1941 1942, tens of thousands more died because of reprisals by Nazis and collaborators, the countrys economy was collapsed and the great majority of Greek Jews were deported and murdered in Nazi concentration camps.

The Greek Resistance, one of the most effective resistance movements in Europe, fought vehemently against the Nazis and their collaborators. The German

16


occupiers committed series of atrocities, mass executions, wholesale slaughter of civilians and destruction of towns and villages in Greece. The most infamous examples are those of the village of Kommeno on 16 August 1943, where 317 inhabitants were executed and the village torched, the Holocaust of Viannos on 14 16 September 1943, in which over 500 civilians from several villages in the region of Viannos and Ierapetra in Crete were executed, the Massacre of Kalavryta on 13 December 1943, in which Wehrmacht troops carried out the extermination of the entire male population and the subsequent total destruction of the town, the Distomo massacre on 10 June 1944, where units of the Waffen-SS Polizei Division looted and burned the village of Distomo in Boeotia resulting in the deaths of 218 civilians and the Holocaust of Kedros on 22 August 1944 in Crete, where 164 civilians were executed and nine villages were dynamited after being looted.

Military Security Forces

The Hellenic National Defence General Staff, which refers to the Ministry of National Defence, oversees the Armed Forces and consists of three branches, Army, Navy and Air Force. Furthermore, Greece maintains Police Force for law enforcement and the Coast Guard for law enforcement in the sea and search and rescue as well.

Greece has universal compulsory military service for males, while females (who may serve in the military) are exempted from conscription. Conscript service obligation is 9 months for the Army and 1 year for the Air Force and Navy.

Economy

Greece was a founding member of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and the Organization of the Black Sea Economic Cooperation (BSEC).

17


Greece became the 10th member of the EU (former EEC European Economic Community) in 1981 and the 12th of the European Economic and Monetary Union (Eurozone) in 2000 and adopted the Euro () as its currency in 2001, replacing the Greek drachma. Greece is also a member of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Trade Organization (WTO).

Agriculture

In 2010, Greece was the European Unions largest producer of cotton (183.800 tons) and pistachios (8.000 tons) and ranked second in the production of rice (229.500 tons) and olives (147.500 tons), third in the production of gs (11.000 tons) and almonds (44,000 tons), tomatoes (1.400.000 tons) and watermelons (578.400 tons) and fourth in the production of tobacco (22.000 tons).

Agriculture contributes 3,8% of the countrys GDP and employs 12,4% of the countrys labor force.

Maritime

Maritime is a key element of Greek economic activity dated back to ancient times. It accounts for 4,5% of GDP, employs about 160.000 people (4% of the workforce), and represents 30% of the countrys trade de cit. The Greek merchant eet is one of the largest in the world.

Tourism

An important percentage of Greeces national income comes from tourism. Tourism funds 16% of the gross domestic products.

According to Eurostat statistics, Greece welcomed over 19,5 million tourists in 2009 and more than 21 million tourists are expected throughout 2015.

Transport

Since the 1980s, the road and rail network of Greece has been signi cantly modernized. Important works include the Egnatia Odos highway, that connects northwestern Greece (Igoumenitsa) with northeastern Greece (Kipoi); and the RioAntirrio bridge, the longest suspension cable bridge in Europe (2,250 m long), connecting the Peloponnese Rio (7 km from Patras) with Antirrio in Western Greece.

Important projects that are currently underway include, the conversion of the highway which connects Athens with Patras in the western Peloponnese, into a modernised one throughout its length; upgrading un nished sections of highway connecting Athens to Thessaloniki; and the construction of the Thessaloniki Metro as well.

18


The Athens Metropolitan Area is served by some of the most modern and ef cient transport infrastructure in Europe, such as the Athens International Airport (Eleftherios Venizelos), the privately run Attiki Odos highway network (a ring to Athens) and the expanded Athens Metro system.

Most of the Greek islands and many main cities of Greece are connected by air. Maritime connections have been improved with modern high-speed craft, including hydrofoils and catamarans.

Railway connections play a somewhat lesser role in Greece than in many other European countries, but they have also been expanded, with new suburban/commuter rail connections, serviced by Proastiakos around Athens, towards airport, Kiato and Chalkida; around Thessaloniki, towards the cities of Larissa and Edessa; and around Patras. A modern intercity rail connection between Athens and Thessaloniki has also been established, while an upgrade to double lines in many parts of the 2.500 km network is underway. International railway lines connect Greek cities with the rest of Europe, the Balkans and Turkey.

Telecommunications

Modern digital information and communication networks reach all areas. There are over 35.000 km of ber optics and an extensive open-wire network.

Broadband internet availability is widespread in Greece, counting at least 65% of the population being internet users.

Mobile internet on 3G and 4GLTE cellphone networks and Wi-Fi connections can be found almost everywhere, ranking Greece among the top countries with a highly developed information and communications infrastructure.

Science and technology

The General Secretariat for Research and Technology of the Ministry of Development is responsible for designing, implementing and supervising national research and technological policy.

Because of its strategic location, quali ed workforce and political and economic stability, many multinational companies such as Microsoft and Coca-Cola have their regional research and development headquarters in Greece.

Greece became the 16th member of the European Space Agency (ESA) in 2005.

Notable Greek scientists of modern times include Dimitrios Galanos, Georgios Papanikolaou (inventor of the Pap test), Nicholas Negroponte (MIT), Constantin Carathodory (known for the Carathodory theorems and Carathodory conjecture), Manolis Andronikos (discovered the tomb of Philip II of Macedon in Vergina), Michael Dertouzos, John Argyris, Panagiotis Kondylis, John Iliopoulos (2007 Dirac Prize for his contributions on the physics of the charm quark, a major

19


contribution to the birth of the Standard Model, the modern theory of Elementary Particles), Joseph Sifakis (2007 Turing Award, the Nobel Prize of Computer Science), Christos Papadimitriou (2002 Knuth Prize, 2012 Gdel Prize), Mihalis Yannakakis (2005 Knuth Prize) and Dimitri Nanopoulos.

Migration

Throughout the 20th century, millions of Greeks migrated to the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, and Germany, creating a thriving Greek diaspora.

Nowadays, Greece together with Italy and Spain, faces a large in ux of immigrants trying to enter the EU, violeting the law. The EU FRONTEX assists Greece to overcome this serious problem.

Religion

The Greek Constitution recognizes Eastern Orthodoxy as the prevailing faith of the country, while guaranteeing freedom of religious belief for all.

Education

Greeks have a long tradition of valuing and investing in paideia (education), which was one of the highest societal values in the Greek and Hellenistic world.

Compulsory education in Greece comprises primary schools and gymnasium. Children start primary school aged 6 and remain there for six years. Attendance at gymnasium starts at age of 12 and lasts for three years.

Greeces post-compulsory secondary education consists of two school types: uni ed upper secondary schools (Lykeio) and technicalvocational educational schools.

Public higher education consists of two parallel sectors: the University sector (Universities, Polytechnics, the Open University) and the Technological sector (Technological Education Institutions). The Capodistrian University of Athens is the oldest university in the eastern Mediterranean.

The Greek education system provides special kindergartens, primary and secondary schools for people with special needs or dif culties in learning. Specialist gymnasia and high schools offering musical, theological and physical education also exist.

Health

Greece has universal health care.

In the 2000 World Health Organization report, its health care system ranked 14th in overall performance of 191 countries surveyed.

20


Life expectancy in Greece is 80,30 years and among the highest in the world.

The island of Icaria has the highest percentage of 90-year-olds in the world; approximately 33% of the islanders make it to 90 (and beyond). Blue Zones author Dan Buettner wrote an article in The New York Times about the longevity of Icarians under the title The Island Where People Forget to Die.

Infant mortality is one of the lowest in the developed world, with a rate of 4,78 deaths per 1.000 live births. The same happens for the maternal mortality, with 3 deaths per 100.000 live births.

Culture

The culture of Greece has evolved over thousands of years, beginning in Mycenaean Greece and continuing most notably into Classical Greece.

In ancient times, Greece was the birthplace of Western culture. Modern democracies owe a debt to Greek beliefs in government by the people, trial by jury, and equality under the law. The ancient Greeks pioneered in many elds that rely on systematic thought, including biology, geometry, history, philosophy, physics and mathematics. They introduced such important literary forms as epic and lyric poetry, history, tragedy, and comedy. In their pursuit of order and proportion, the Greeks created an ideal of beauty that strongly in uenced Western art.

Philosophy

Most western philosophical traditions began in Ancient Greece in the 6th century BC. The rst philosophers are called Presocratics, which designates that they came before Socrates, whose contributions mark a turning point in western thought.

A new period of philosophy started with Socrates. Like the Sophists, he rejected entirely the physical speculations in which his predecessors had indulged, and made the thoughts and opinions of people his starting-point.

Aspects of Socrates were rst united from Plato, who also combined with them many of the principles established by earlier philosophers, and developed the whole of this material into the unity of a comprehensive system.

Aristotle of Stagira (Alexanders the Great instructor), the most important disciple of Plato, shared with his teacher the title of the greatest philosopher of antiquity. But while Plato had sought to elucidate and explain things from the supra-sensual standpoint of the forms, his pupil preferred to start from the facts given us by experience.

Except from these three most signi cant Greek philosophers other known schools of Greek philosophy from other founders during ancient times were Stoicism, epicureanism, Skepticism and Neoplatonism.

Literature

Greek literature can be divided into three main categories: Ancient, Byzantine and modern Greek literature.

The Iliad and the Odyssey, the foundational texts of Western literature, are believed to have been composed by Homer in the 8th or 7th centuries BC.

In the classical period many of the genres of western literature became more prominent. Lyrical poetry, odes, pastorals, elegies, epigrams; dramatic presentations of comedy and tragedy; historiography, rhetorical treatises, philosophical dialectics, and philosophical treatises all arose in this period. The two major lyrical poets were Sappho and Pindar. The Classical era also saw the dawn of drama.

Of the hundreds of tragedies written and performed during the classical age, only a limited number of plays by three authors have survived: those of Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides. The surviving plays by Aristophanes are also a treasure trove of comic presentation, while Herodotus and Thucydides are two of the most in uential historians in this period. The greatest prose achievement of the 4th century was in philosophy with the works of the three great philosophers.

Leading literary gures of modern Greece include Dionysios Solomos, Andreas Kalvos, Angelos Sikelianos, Emmanuel Rhoides, Kostis Palamas, Penelope Delta, Yannis Ritsos, Alexandros Papadiamantis, Nikos Kazantzakis, Andreas Embeirikos, Kostas Karyotakis, Gregorios Xenopoulos, Constantine P. Cavafy, and Demetrius Vikelas.

Two Greek authors have been awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature: George Seferis in 1963 and Odysseas Elytis in 1979.

Cuisine

Greek cuisine is characteristic of the healthy Mediterranean diet, which is epitomized by dishes of Crete.

Greek cuisine incorporates fresh ingredients into a variety of local dishes such as moussaka, stifado, Greek salad, fasolada, spanakopita and souvlaki.

Throughout Greece, people often enjoy eating from small dishes such as meze with various dips such as tzatziki, grilled octopus and small sh, feta cheese, dolmades (rice, currants and pine kernels wrapped in vine leaves), various pulses, olives and cheese. Olive oil is added to almost every dish.

Sweet desserts such as galaktoboureko, and drinks such as ouzo, metaxa and a variety of wines including retsina.

22


Music and dances

Greek vocal music extends far back into ancient times where mixed-gender choruses performed for entertainment, celebration and spiritual reasons. Instruments during that period included the double-reed aulos and the plucked string instrument, the lyre, especially the special kind called a kithara. Music played an important role in the education system during ancient times.

In the 20th century, Greek composers have had a signi cant impact on the development of avant garde and modern classical music, with gures such as Iannis Xenakis, Nikos Skalkottas, and Dimitri Mitropoulos achieving international prominence.

At the same time, composers and musicians such as Mikis Theodorakis, Manos Hatzidakis, Vangelis and Demis Roussos garnered an international following for their music, which include famous lm scores such as Zorba the Greek, Serpico, Never on Sunday, America America, Eternity and a Day, Chariots of Fire, among others.

Greek American composers known for their lm scores include Yanni and Basil Poledouris. Notable Greek opera singers and classical musicians of the 20th and 21st century include Maria Callas, Nana Mouskouri, Mario Frangoulis, Leonidas Kavakos, Dimitris Sgouros and others.

Sports

Greece is the birthplace of the ancient Olympic Games, rst recorded in 776 BC in Olympia, and hosted the modern Olympic Games twice, the inaugural 1896 Summer Olympics and the 2004 Summer Olympics. During the parade of nations Greece is always called rst, as the founding nation of the ancient precursor of modern Olympics.

Mythology

The numerous gods of the ancient Greek religion as well Zeus was the King of the ancient Greek dodekatheon as the mythical heroes and events of the ancient Greek epics and other pieces of art and literature from the time make up what is nowadays colloquially referred to as Greek mythology. Apart from serving a religious function, the mythology of the ancient Greek world also served a cosmological role as it was meant to try to explain how the world was formed and operated.

The principal gods of the ancient Greek religion were the Dodekatheon, or the Twelve Gods, who lived on the top of Mount Olympus. The most important of all ancient Greek gods was Zeus, the king of the gods, who was married to Hera, who was also Zeuss sister. The other Greek gods that made up the Twelve Olympians were Demeter, Hades, Ares, Poseidon, Athena, Dionysus, Apollo,

23


Artemis, Aphrodite, Hephaestus and Hermes. Apart from these twelve gods, Greeks also had a variety of other mystical beliefs, such as nymphs and other magical creatures.
