I found this video of a speech given by Gerasimos Arsenis on 30 Sep 10 in Nicosia.

I apologize that it is in Greek! This video is for GC forumers only.

I will not be offering any translations.

Gerasimos was a long serving PASOK MP and Minister for Defence who was responsible for the Joint Defence Dogma etc...

He seems to offer some good information which I think is worthwhile to listen to. I don't post it to upset anyone but I think it would be good for every GC to listen very carefully about his views on where we are headed and about Greece's and Cyprus' handling of matters!

Your opinions and thoughts will be appreciated!

Why is it shocking you, Paphiti?

For me, I wonder why we need another tourist trap like 'Limassol Marina'?
It is a new Naval Base that we need to create for access to our Allies and to entice Frontex. We are prevented from patrolling our waters. We need those on the outside, Greece and EU, to assist us. They need RoC Bases. We need to prepare.

That's not what I find shocking!

Something else I find shocking and I feel it is important we take stock!

On your point, I have said it many times that Cyprus needs to develop a formidable force of Exocet SSM carrying Fast Attack Craft with Area Defence Anti Aircraft capabilities (SAMs) similar to the French Roussen Class or Greek Super Vita.

I am referring more to our handling of political matters!

Utter bollocks!

A brand new naval base was built in Mari area a few years ago.




What we really need is a new anti-ship missile system to supplement the aging Exocet missiles.

That is good but basic (if some sillies do not undermine it further). We need another one in Limassol. More-so than we need a Marina.

[Paphitis]

You don't need any more bases. What we need are UAVs, Choppers, Satellites, Fast Attack Craft and Surveillance Aircraft!

Kurupetos, there is an upgraded Exocet SSM which has a range of 180kms. The French and Greek Navies are equipping their Rouusen and Super Vita Fast Attack Craft with them.

Paphitis, i had never saw this video before/ I consider his wife the most stupid minister of present government in Athens. BUT i want to dedicate this video to the new Neo Cypriots stupid president (law p) of Greek Cypriots.And not only to him but to many "American guided policiticians here and there.

As a conclusion i can say(without to read the rests posts) to G/cs and Greeks here -and -particularly to the occupation force/country- DO NOT under-estimate the anger of the Greeks when they feel that they came at the last step of the stair!!!-The surprise is always a possibility.
