In early September, 2012, some 61 illegal immigrants drowned off of Efessos (in Turkey) when their overcrowded boat, which was illegally transporting them to the island of Samos, crashed against a rocky bed and the occurrence revealed what some described as the National Plan of Turkey to transform Greece into an Islamic country. For those who still believe that this is over-exaggerated we want to inform them that this is not only possible, but it is happening as we speak! Friends, this tragedy came to only justify what we already know: That the issue of illegal immigration is taking on dramatic dimensions in our country and we have no clue as to what it will develop into. And if you think that the Greek State has it under cover... think again. The illegal smuggling of immigrants will heighten as the months role by, and as the bloody crisis in Syria and the Middle East continues.
This new threat to our country has literally nailed our economy to the wall, and has only deepened the crisis already faced by Greece for over three years now. And even though the present government was successful in finally limiting the amount of people illegally crossing into our country from the area of Evros it has to now deal with the movement of illegal immigrants from the sea.
The country that is primarily responsible for all of this is Turkey since it waived visa requirements to all the countries from which all these immigrants come from. Today Turkey is faced with well over 80,000 refugees from its open borders with Syria, who all plan to migrate to various European countries via Greece. The trouble is.. they can't do so because the EU's Dublin II Accord forbids this, and therefore all these people will be forced to remain in Greece since Turkey does not respect EU legislation which obligates her to take them back.
That is why it is vital that the government of Antonis Samaras immediately bring this matter to the attention of all the relevant committees at the UN, so that Republics such as Turkey, who are involved in the illegal smuggling of immigrants, can be singled out for their crimes. This is the only way to battle this kind of humanitarian crime and at the same time note what sort of implications it can have on all the countries (and people) involved. Parallel to this, Greece must ask the EU to deploy FRONTEX forces on Turkish territory where the movement occurs in the framework of reducing this phenomenon.
But we live in a nation where there are some politicians that do not want to see -or are unwilling to accept- that there is a problem.
Why you ask?
That is simple...
They work for foreign interests, or to simply fatten their wallets. They are easily corruptible and part of what we all call "the system". And what is worse, they are traitors, and acting as true-life Trojan horses that want the total dissolution of the Greek nation.
They are probably also corrupt and related to these crimes. How else can such a network survive if it wasn't for the help of high-profile personalities? Think about it...
And if you still think that is far-fetched, or stretching it to the limit... we present an article to you by a Turkish journalist which was written immediately after the relevant boat accident we spoke about earlier. His name is Ezer Caracas and his article was published in Turkey's STAR newspaper.
Last week we experienced two great tragedies in Turkey. The first was a deadly explosion at a military ammunition depot in Afyon. The explosion, that was either the work of the PKK, or was an accident, shows the tragic condition of the Turkish Armed Forces (TSK) ...This is what Ezer Caracas said in his report, which was re-published in Greek at the weekend by Savvas Kalenteridis in the Greek Dimokratia Sunday edition. HellasFrappe translated it into English.
This particular explosion, which claimed the lives of 25 of our youngsters, seemed to push the tragedy of the deaths of 61 illegal immigrants, (of Iraqi, Syrian and Palestinian descent), that drowned off the coast of Smyrna into the background.
In fact, I am not at all sure that this issue received any coverage at all by the mass media because of the explosion in Afyon. Or was it for another reason?
The subject is being monitored by newspapers, since we have no other sources. 61 people died and others are threatened and nobody says anything, and there are no reports about the events that preceded the accident either.
The same silence, or lack of news, has been observed in all corresponding fatal accidents in the past which involved illegal immigrants.
In all fairness, only Ayse Bohurler published a nice article about this on September 9 in the Yeni Safak newspaper. I did not notice any other article, or analysis on the subject anywhere, unless something escaped my eye.
From the media reports we learned that the illegal immigrants that drowned -and those who survived- had to stay overnight in hotels in the Basmane district in Smyrna.
In the morning they were transported to shore (by bus, the distance is 70 km) and they then boarded a boat to disembark in Greece and the accident occurred. Their boat hit the rocks and sank, resulting in the death of 61 people.
Those who are familiar with the trafficking of illegal immigrants, believe that the boat crashed against the rocks on purpose, and it is highly likely that the captain of the boat was among the first who fled.
A case has already been formed against the captain and his assistant and it is reported that they will each receive 61 life sentences (the Labour Party of Turkey TİP
killers came to mind for some reason, and the penalties imposed on them).
But at this point some other questions surface. Where and how did these illegal immigrants come into Turkey and how did they reach Smyrna from the southern boarder?
It is said that the captain and his assistant came by boat from Istanbul. How and who organized this operation?
I find these questions are very important, and interesting, but more importantly is the fact that almost no one in the Turkish press is interested in the issue of human trafficking. It is a subject that remains on the back burner.
Just like the trafficking of drugs.
In your opinion does drug trafficking only concern truck drivers and trained police dogs? Is it possible that drug smuggling is conducted only by truck drivers?
Who is helping these illegal immigrants to enter Turkey and who is turning a blind eye? For example let's say they entered Turkey from Antioch and from Keeley, how did these people manage to reach Smyrna?
What is the relationship between the financing of PKK terror with drug smuggling?
Is it possible that such large quantities of drugs are being transported in our country, without the cooperation from certain members of the security forces?
How is it possible that traffickers manage to pass so many checkpoints, and authorities never realize that they are transporting illegal immigrants? How do these smugglers pass these obstacles?
Wouldn't the honorable Minister of Interior, who teaches journalism to journalists, do a better job if we talked about how they entered the country and how certain immigrants arrived in Izmir without being caught by anyone?
We know that the issue of illegal immigration is an international matter, but we also know that the movement of illegal immigrants would not be possible without the cooperation of a specific few in the Turkish state ....
We can do away with the problems of drug trafficking and illegal immigrants if more aggressive action is taken by sections of the State that have no connection to such operations.
Let us not forget that we rid ourselves from Ergenekon and Sledgehammer troublemakers with the help of certain TSK's members who were not corrupted.
But I can not explain why a large section of the media has a blind eye attitude on such issues and what is worse they show no interest at all! ...
What is important to note here is that in Turkey, the press and the media are de facto disciplined on matters of national importance -generally all national issues-, one of which is also the Islamization of Greece.
ALERT - Is our government listening?
