EDITOR’S NOTE (Nick Stamatakis). This is an exceptional video, an interview by geopolitical analyst and friend of Helleniscope Savvas Kalenteridis and Dr. Meletis Meletopoulos, a historian and a specialist in the Greek Revolution… You will be surprised to learn that Greek historians have not extensively studied the foreign ministries’ archives of that era… You will NOT be surprised to learn that the biggest heroes of the 1821 Revolution, Ioannis Kapodistrias (Foreign minister of Russia, First Governor of Greece, and author of the Swiss Constitution, which is still valid!!!) and General Theodoros Kolokotronis, the chief military leader of the revolution, are not recognized enough by the political elites today. Why? Because they represent patriotism – and patriotism is not a trait of Mitsotkis, Tsipras, Kasselakis, and the rest…
THE VIDEO HAS ENGLISH SUNTITLES…
=======================
Dr. Meletopoulos is one of the most competent and trustworthy historians in Greece. Every one of his conclusions is based on historical evidence that he himself unearths with solid research of archives. Secularist and Marxian revisionists like Thanos Veremis and Constantine Tsoukalas, along with propaganda “journalists” like Alexis Papahelas, have rewritten Greece’s history books with lies that suit their unsupportable agendas. Meletopoulos points out that only two scholars have actually researched original archives related to Greece’s Revolution, and they’re both foreigners — Brewer and Mazower. He correctly observes that Greek historians (without naming them) make false statements that collapse under their own contradictions! I find Meletopoulos’ findings, conclusions and arguments very credible and persuasive. We need more honest scholars like him who do original research and honest assessments. I am happy his work is getting a great deal of attention.
John Romanides’ book ‘The Romisosini of 1821 and the Great Powers’ is also a fantastic analysis.
Thank for your scholarly workmanship and unmuted transparency to support the research with clarity in the name of true history, Not revisionary Greek History. I rely on comprehensive information as best that I can find at this time, since omissions and propaganda seem to be the general mediocre presentations. I was born in in Domvraina Boeotia Greece, (our hero is G. Karaiskakis), in 1956 and immigrated along with my family to Seattle WA where I grew up -about 68 years overseas, yet I follow Hellenic issues-International Law issues as they pertain to my place of birth Greece. One of my most important causes that I have been working on is the FACT that The Current Official Flag of Greece has NO Symbol or Symbols from our Pre-Christian Glorious Period- This is an Oversight by the Greek Nation in my opinion. if you have the time, please contact me regarding my passionate duty as Hellene living overseas. Also, consider the many Hellenes in the Diaspora , it is important to review their perspectives and missions to protect Hellenic Power and its Sovereignty. Some of my recent opinions can be found under” Vassilis Tourikis- Letters to The Editor” published by Hellenic News Of America and The National Herald NY NY.
I would appreciate that my email be sent to Savva Kalenteridis ,as I admire the work that he presents daily to our Hellenic Family- throughout the World.
Thank You Again
Vassilis G. Tourikis
