The Cyprus tragedy of only a few days ago at Limassol’s naval base,
which resulted in the deaths of 13 people, has raised questions about
the inadequate standards of guarding munitions in our country.
At the moment, there are confiscated explosives kept in four places around Greece, more or less as many in quantity as those which exploded in Cyprus. The Greek Defence ministry has taken no action towards disarming them.
In Lavrio, where the Greek Defense Systems are based, there are 34 containers full of explosives that have been transported here from Iraq.
Additionally, 700 tons of similar material, which was meant to be destroyed long ago, has been kept on Astakos island in the Ionian sea since 2004.
The issue was brought to parliament by MP Giannis Dimaras, who also underlines the fact that, “although a related question has been brought to the Greek Defense Systems’ board twice in the past, no sufficient action has been taken”.
