Data on the Air Force and Navy gave today speaking to the Foreign and Defense Committee in Parliament, Defense Minister Nikos Dendiasafter the objections made by the announcement that they will not serve in now Military in two weapons, except in the land army. Indeed, the minister made special reference to the pressures that defense ministers have taken over the years not to serve on ships, characteristically saying that “only the Archbishop does not call”.
In the debate on the Ministry of Defense’s bill on the exploitation of the immovable property of the Armed Forces and the establishment of a body to exploit them, Mr. Dendiahe pointed out that even today, conscripts are not serving in combat units and ships. “Think about how many people are on ships. Not even 5%. We all know what is going on and we know what any minister is pulling, regardless of the party, if he is imagined to go to a ship. Only the Archbishop does not call him. What does it mean? Only war museums have a fullness of 300%, 400%ยปthe minister said to add:
“What is the reality? You know it, the Navy and the Air Force are branches of complete composition and in times of peace are branches of complete composition. Has Over 85% Navy, nearly 90% Air Force. For both sectors we currently have 35,000 reserves. If we want to call them, that is, in times of war, what do we miss? We miss the completeness of the 10% composition in each industry if we want to complete this 10%, we have 35,000 more to fill it. On the contrary, to create others who are lost forever by the land army, while the population difference with the neighboring country is tragically against us.
Of course there are specialties, because you are saying to be preserved even symbolically. The symbolic will, of course, be adhered to, because anyone who is a shipbuilder, who is a captain, who is an aircraft engineer, who is a pilot, if they exist, will certainly go to the Air Force and the Navy. We will put some specialties.
Now you have it as an ideology, “the sailor and the Smondy”. No, few specialties will go to the Navy and Air Force. But it’s good to talk honestly. “
The Deputy Minister of National Defense also attended the meeting of the Commission Thanasis Davakisthe Chief of the General Staff General Dimitrios Houpis, The Chief of General Staff Lieutenant General George Kostidis, The Commander -in -Chief Vice Admiral Dimitrios-Eleftherios Qatari and the Chief of the General Staff of the Vice -Commander Demosthenes Grigoriadis.
Speaking about the armed forces’ asset to the constituency of the armed forces, Mr Dendia noted that he is not ownership, does not acquire any real estate or perpetual right over real estate. “It is simply a management body if it is assigned the management of a property, the resources of which returns to the Fund and the property, if it is not divested, remains in the Fund.”
