16. Officer A: Such a night with cataclysmic rain is no night for patrolling.
No boat can sail the sea in such weather. To the beaches then-yes,
where we all go swimming in the summer, people are coming from
everywhere. Yes, on vacation. Samos is a beautiful island with a rich
ancient history.
17. Officer B: You should see today’s history. Because even nowadays
people are coming; in mid winter. Women and men, children and old
people. In rotten boats and inflatable boats by any means. Crossing
over from Turkey. Coming from the East. Driven away by wars, chased
away-the whole Asia in a mess. Everybody seeking refuge here on the
islands. Help me take them to the campsite. At least a tent will be over
their heads.
Officer A (to the little boy on the ground): What is your name little boy?
Little boy: Mohajer, going to my dad.
19. GOVERNANCE
The battle between the US and former USSR to gain sovereignty in the country led
to the creation of the Taliban, who systematically attack both the troops of the
foreign powers controlling the region and governmental troops alike. So, after
decades of conflict, the humanitarian crisis has taken uncontrollable proportions
and millions of refugees have left the country.
Despite its small industry, Afghanistan is rich in minerals. In particular, it has huge
reserves of ores: mainly copper, iron, lead and lithium and also deposits of coal and
oil, precious and semi-precious stones and marble.
20. NATIONAL FOOD
Afghan bread, or Nân-i Afğânī the
national bread of Afghanistan. The
bread is oval or rectangular and
baked in a tandoor, a cylindrical oven
which is the primary cooking
equipment of the sub-continental
region. The Afghan version of the
tandoor sits above ground and is
made of bricks, which are heated to
cook the bread. The bread, also
known as naan, is shaped and then
stuck to the interior wall of the oven
to bake. Black cumin or caraway
seeds are often sprinkled on the
bread, as decoration and also for
flavour, and lengthwise lines are
scored in the dough to add texture to
the bread.
23. Syria
Syria is a Middle Eastern country that stretches between the Euphrates River, the
Arab Desert and the Mediterranean Sea. Bordering at the North with Turkey, the
East with Iraq, the South with Jordan, the Southwest with Israel and Lebanon, and at
the Northwest the Mediterranean Sea. The capital city is Damascus.
25. Political state
Basar Αl Assan as head of the ruling Baath party suppresses violent demonstrations
in 2011, a civil war breaks out in which they are directly or indirectly involved: most
Middle Eastern countries, Turkey for restoring the Ottoman sovereignty, Russia, the
USA and several European states using even chemical weapons. Kurds also struggle
against ISIS and for the creation of an independent Kurdish state.
26. Civil war and refugees
The Syrian Human Rights Watch announced that "353,935 people have been killed since
March 15th, 2011", 106,390 of which civilians. Turkey has received more than 3,300,000
refugees. Lebanon: 1,000,000 Jordan: 657,000 refugees registered by the UNHCR, or 1.3
million according to the authorities. Iraq: more than 246,000.Egypt: 126,000.Hundreds of
thousands of Syrians have also fled to Europe, mainly to Germany. Through Turkey they are
trying to reach the coasts of the Greek islands to move to EU territory and from there they
are trying in every way to reach any Central European country .
30. Οικονομική και πολιτική κατάσταση
Η Λιβύη είναι χωρισμένη σε στρατόπεδα και η εξουσία μοιράζεται ανάμεσα
στις διάφορες ένοπλες ομάδες. Το χάσμα ανάμεσα στις αντιμαχόμενες
πλευρές ξεκινά από τις ιδεολογικές διαφορές και φτάνει μέχρι το φυλετικό
διαχωρισμό, καθώς ο πόλεμος περιστρέφεται, εκτός των άλλων, και γύρω
από τη μάχη της ανατολικής Λιβύης με τη δυτική.
Ηγέτης της χώρας ήταν ο Συνταγματάρχης Μουαμάρ του οποίου η εξωτερική
πολιτική τον είχε φέρει συχνά σε αντιπαράθεση με τη Δύση και με τις
κυβερνήσεις άλλων χωρών της Αφρικής. Στη χώρα αυτή τη στιγμή
διεξάγεται Εμφύλιος Πόλεμος που ανέτρεψε τον Καντάφι. Για το λόγο αυτό
έχει σχηματισθεί αντικαθεστωτική κυβέρνηση με έδρα τη Βεγγάζη. Οι
αντικαθεστωτικές δυνάμεις έχουν αναλάβει τον έλεγχο του μεγαλύτερου
μέρους της Λιβύης, συμπεριλαμβανομένης της Τρίπολης, και έχουν
αναγνωριστεί με σύναψη διεθνώς σχέσεων από κάποιες χώρες.
31. Εμφύλιος πόλεμος
Ο Λιβυκός Εμφύλιος Πόλεμος του 2011 ήταν μια σειρά από ταραχές και συγκρούσεις που
συνέβησαν στο βορειοαφρικανικό κράτος της Λιβύης κατά της κυβέρνησης και του αρχηγού του
κράτους Μουαμάρ Καντάφι.
32. Μνημείο
Η Λέπτις Μάγκνα ήταν μία εξέχουσα πόλη της Ρωμαϊκής αυτοκρατορίας. Τα ερείπια βρίσκονται
στη σημερινή πόλη Χομς της Λιβύης, περίπου 130 χιλιόμετρα ανατολικά της Τρίπολη στη Λιβύη.
33. Η απόλυτη απελπισία για τους Λίβυους
πρόσφυγες
Εκτιμήσεις κάνουν λόγο για ένα εκατομμύριο πρόσφυγες στη Λιβύη. Τα βασανιστήρια και οι
σύγχρονες μορφές δουλείας που βιώνουν εκεί κάνουν την προσπάθεια διαφυγής προς την Ευρώπη
συχνά αναπόδραστη επιλογή.
Η ακτοφυλακή της χώρας φέρνει διαρκώς πίσω ανθρώπους που επιχείρησαν να διαφύγουν μέσω
θαλάσσης στην Ιταλία.
Λίβυοι πρόσφυγες εξαναγκάζονται μάλιστα από συμμορίες διακινητών να επιβιβαστούν σε
υπερφορτωμένα σκάφη με προορισμό την Ιταλία. Κι αυτό ενώ, μόνο λίγοι πρόσφυγες που
επιβιβάζονται σε αυτά τα σκάφη είχαν εγκαταλείψει τις πατρίδες τους στην Αφρική έχοντας εξ
αρχής ως στόχο να διασχίσουν τη Μεσόγειο. Οι περισσότεροι ήθελαν απλά σε πρώτη φάση να
διαφύγουν από τις καταστροφικές συνθήκες στη χώρα τους, αναζητώντας καλύτερη τύχη εντός
της αφρικανικής ηπείρου.
35. ΣΕΝΕΓΑΛΗ ΠΟΛΙΤΙΣΜΟΣ
African Renaissance Monument
Το άγαλμα – μνημείο της Αφρικανικής
Αναγέννησης – κόστισε περίπου $27
εκατομμύρια και έχει ύψος 49 μέτρα.
Συμβολίζει τα 50 χρόνια ανεξαρτησίας της
αφρικανικής χώρας. Η κεντρική φιγούρα του
αγάλματος είναι ένας άνδρας που κρατά ένα
παιδί στην αγκαλιά του και πίσω του
παρακολουθεί μια γυναικεία φιγούρα.
36. ΣΕΝΕΓΑΛΗ ΔΙΑΚΥΒΕΡΝΗΣΗ
Η χώρα είναι ημιπροεδρική δημοκρατία (φιλελεύθερη δημοκρατία), με
Αρχηγό Κράτους τον Πρόεδρο της Δημοκρατίας, ο οποίος εκλέγεται για
πενταετή θητεία από το λαό. Τον Ιούνιο του 2009 θεσπίστηκε και το αξίωμα
του Αντιπροέδρου[5]. Δικαίωμα ψήφου έχουν όσες και όσοι είναι ηλικίας 18
ετών και άνω. Τη νομοθετική εξουσία ασκεί η Βουλή (Assemblée Nationale),
η οποία εκλέγεται επίσης για πενταετή θητεία από το λαό και απαρτίζεται
από 120 μέλη.
39. TURKEY
Turkey has the 15th largest GDP in PPS and the 17th
largest nominal GDP. The country is one of the
founding members of the OECD and the major
economies of the G-20. The history of the Turks
covers more than 4000 years. The Turks lived for the
first time in Central Asia around 2000 BC. Later, some
of them left Central Asia and spread, establishing
many states and empires independent of each other
in a vast region of Asia and Europe. Turkey is
characterized by a diverse culture, a result of the
Turks' influence from the pre-existing peoples
migrating from Asia to the West. The Ottoman
civilization over the centuries, taking insights from
the ancient Greek, Roman, Byzantine and Islamic
influences, gave us the "mosaic" of today's Turkish
civilization.

which we have not yet traveled
The most beautiful children are these
which have not yet grown

40. POLITICAL
SITUATION
- It was until August 2014 that Turkey had a
limited parliamentary republic with the President
and the prime minister to dominate. However,
following the direct presidential elections in
2014, the constitution was transformed into a
Presidential Republic, with the President taking
the lead role and the Prime Minister to perform
customary duties. The Kemalic state at some
point was accepted in the League of Nations.
Later it ceased to be one-party, shortly
afterwards it joined the "Western world" and its
defensive Pact. Today it is also on the threshold
of the European Union. However, this course
neither affected its basic structures nor its
function. It is characteristic that even today it is
forbidden to establish a party with the word
"communist" in its title, while for the use of the
word "Kurd" even today there is a tough struggle
in order to decriminalize. Of course, the attitude
of the profound derindevlet, the "deep state"
remains a question mark in every attempt of
democratization. His institutionalized presence in
every essential node of power has always been
the safeguard for prisoners of military service.

41. IMMIGRATI
ON
Turkey plays a role as a trafficker of refugees due to its
position. Pogroms, conflicts and poverty have led more
than a million people to leave their countries of origin
and seek security in Europe lately. Half of the refugees
were Syrians who left the country in a political war and
most of them made a dangerous voyage by sea from
Turkey to Greece. Nearly 4,000 people are believed to
have drowned in trying to cross the coast. Meanwhile,
tens of thousands crossed the country from Turkey to
Bulgaria and Greece. Turkey is also a refugee country for
human rights abuses. All Turkish refugee politicians
seeking political asylum in Greece are increasing. After
Erdogan's failed coup, Turkish nationals leave their
country and along with their families follow the difficult
path of refugee. These are mostly urban bourgeois
families of Turkish counterparts who, due to the events
in Turkey, are looking for a better life and are seeking
political asylum in our country. The rapid increase in
asylum claims following the failed coup is indicative of
the situation in the neighboring country.
