Declarações do Ministro da Defesa do governo provisório grego, o general Frangoulis Fragos:

“I wish the Democracy functions and I will directly deliver [the mandate] to the elected Minister of Defense,” Frangos said during a memorial ceremony in Marasia at the prefecture of Evros, NE Greece.

“But I want to tell you something” he added. “Do not doubt about the capacities of the Greek Army. I repat again. Yes, it is an averting force, but strong, silent military force that will make a deafening noise if necessary”.
