And nobody do anything to help Greece on the name issue with "North Macedonia". A slavic people with slavic language want to manipulate history and claim their language as Macedonian, their country as Macedonia and their people as Macedonians, we that live in real Macedonia in Greece we, the true Macedonians feel betrayed from the allies once more. We still dont have borders on sea with Turkey, they threat us on war.
Ellas !!
Such hypocrisy is laughable if it wasn't so disgraceful.

Resistance is To Fight For Freedom
WE SHOULD NOT CALL HAMAS TERRORISTS GREECE WAS BEING OCCUPIED DURING WORLD WAR 2 On October 28, 1940, Greece’s Prime Minister, Ioannis Metaxas, was awakened at his residence at 3 a.m. and given an ultimatum by the Italian ambassador to Greece, Emanuele Grazzi: either let the Italians occupy Greece without a fight, or it would be war. The important words that come next have been debated throughout the years since. Grazzi himself, in his memoirs wrote that Metaxas said to him, staring straight into his eyes, “Alors, c’est la guerre!,” that translates from French - a common language of diplomacy at the time - as, “Then it is war!” When Grazzi responded by saying war could be avoided entirely if the Greeks simply surrendered, Metaxas interrupted and allegedly answered with a single Greek word: “Oxi.” No. Whether Metaxas actually said “oxi” (pronounced: Oh-hee) or not is still debated, but regardless of what he actually said, this is the word of refusal that would embed itself in the collective consciousness of the Greek people, and it would need to, because mere hours later, true to his word, then-Italian Prime Minister Benito Mussolini’s troops invaded from where they were stationed in Italian-occupied Albania, on Greece’s northern border. Greece’s military participation in WWII thus began. Adolf Hitler himself, as Chancellor of Germany and leader of the Axis Powers, had no intention of invading Greece. In fact, he’d told Mussolini, who had designs on expansion and conquest throughout the Mediterranean, not to start a war or create another front at all. The restless and ambitious Mussolini, however, hungry for glory of his own, decided to ignore Hitler’s orders. Before delivering his ultimatum, he told Count Galeazzo Ciano, his foreign minister (as well as his son-in-law), “Hitler always faces me with a fait accompli. This time I am going to pay him back in his own coin. He will find out in the papers that I have occupied Greece.” This, however, proved to be a miscalculation of the highest magnitude as Greece’s response to his ultimatum and the single word that was spoken in defiance by an entire nation during the early hours of October 28, 1940, would become a rallying cry not just for Greece, but also the rest of the Allies and the world, eventually changing the course of the entire war - and history - forever. The Italian offensive is rebuffed The Greek resistance to the Italian invasion was immediate, and after Italian troops spilled over the northern Greek border from Italian-controlled Albania that very same morning, at 5:30am, just hours after the rejection of the Italian ultimatum and declaration of war, fighting began between Greece and Italy in the northern mountains of Greece.
The Man behind the OXI is Ioannis Metaxas,Thanks to is government the Greece was a proud and powerful Nation,He would have given his life for his Nation,he created heroes like Dimitrios Itsios,Honor to King George II and Honor to IOANNIS METAXAS 🇬🇷
Thanks TO IOANNIS METAXAS GOVERNMENT ZHTO IOANNIS METAXAS AND THE 4 AUGUST 🌅 PARTY

actually he didn't say no.he said in frenceh alors c'est la guerre means now this is(we have) war ochi means no in modern greek no is an ancient greek word you can find it in compound words such as νηστεύω nistevo νη+εσθίω=τρωγω,νηστεία ,nisteia, ancient meaning is abstain from food,modern meaning don't eat meat,eggs and milk, in holy week most greek are fasting νηστευουν and also every wednesday and friday οther words are νηνεμία(νη+ανεμος) ninemia means no wind ,νήπιο (νη+έπος=λογος) means toddler, νηπενθής (νη+πένθος) means exempt from mourning
This is the most perfect presentation possible. So relatable! So consequential! So professional. I loved this.

Μπράβο στους Έλληνες του εξωτερικού για αυτήν ταινία! Γιατί δεν προβλήθηκε αρκετά;
Nicolas Bouras was my uncle and godfather. A great man and wonderful uncle. Great stories, humor and clearly beloved by his family, friends and community. We all heard stories about our Uncle Sam, lost very young in 1945, but Uncle Nick and my mother, Maxine (Bouras) Mathrusse, had much love to share on Sam's behalf. My grandparents were very proud of the family, also wonderful and authentic people!

Wow very good
Oh mantap
Why nobody is mentioning the Creator of that COURAGE,THE CREATOR OF THAT GREEK SPIRIT,IOANNIS METAXAS,THE MAN THAT SAID OXI,LONG LIVE TO IOANNIS METAXAS
how did you reward the Greeks for this??
these are very nice videos , too bad they aren’t popular 😢
Always believe
Always be healthy and enthusiastic
What a disgrace. This guy is persecuting orthodox Christians, Ukraine was committing genocide against the Pontic Greeks and we gave him the Oxi award. Don't bastardize my culture.

Oxi Kurac Award
Praying this gentleman who fights relentless for democracy, freedom and justice for all Russians and humanity, will be freed from prison alongside all others (who, equally, enjoy and deserve the unconditional love and support of their families, allies and friends). Knowingly and selflessly, they risked their freedom, the integrity of their bodies, minds and souls, and their lives. Every minute, these humble warriors live on in agony, for a higher cause, their noble conscience.. Godspeed💜
Αν έρθεις σαν φίλος όλα καλά σαν εχθρός μη σου τύχουμε
Brave Greeks 🔥 proud of you ❤
Oxi was my first tattoo , done int he parking lot of my dads Mission Parish.
Excellent video
Masih Alinejad showed her true side and character recently as a corrupted incompetent woman. She uses woman, life, freedom campaigns for her own financial benefits. She is NOT representing us the Iranian woman anymore. She is just a shame for our nation.
Ioannis Metaxas was not an elected prime minister, he was a dictator, the leader of the totalitarian regime known as the 4th of August Regime
