The visit by a PASOK delegation to the Fleet Headquarters at the Salamina Naval Base.
During the visit, PASOK MP and head of the party’s National Defense Committee, Michalis Katrinis, accompanied by the deputy secretaries of the party’s Defense Sector, Thomas Hatzathanasiou and Christos Zakolykos, held a meeting with the Fleet Commander, Vice Admiral Christos Sasiakos, during which they were briefed on the Fleet’s operational activities and expressed their confidence in the Hellenic Navy and its officers, who serve with a high sense of responsibility to ensure the country’s security and deterrent power.
Following the meeting, Michalis Katrinis stated:
“On a special day for Hellenism, we visited Fleet Headquarters.
With Turkish revisionism regarding the ‘Blue Homeland’ challenging the Greek identity of 152 islands and islets in the Aegean, the men and women of the Navy are the guarantors of the country’s national security, sovereign rights, and territorial integrity.
Greece is not intimidated; it makes no concessions regarding its sovereign rights.
We support every effort and initiative to strengthen the deterrent power of our Navy.
We stand with the personnel and officers of our Navy, who deserve to see the State’s tangible recognition of what they offer both daily and over time.”
