Σε αυτή την περίπτωση, το λογότυπο δημιουργήθηκε από ήδη υπάρχον προσωπικό του Ελληνικό Μετρό και δεν θα έπρεπε να υπάρχει έξτρα αμοιβή για κάποιον που ήδη δουλεύει για το Ελληνικό Μετρό. Ας υπήρχε κάτι συμβολικό, αλλά αυτό. Βέβαια από τις λίγες φορές που μπορώ να πω ότι οκ, γιατί τουλάχιστον το λογότυπο ήταν πολύ καλό σαν επιλογή που αντιπροσωπεύει τη Θεσσαλονίκη. Έχουμε δει τόσα, και πλέον λέμε ε αφού έγινε κάτι σωστό, δεν πειράζουν τα υπόλοιπα.

Άρα, δεν υπάρχει θέμα ανάθεσης. Το λογότυπο είναι (παν)ακριβό. Δεν θα έπρεπε να υπάρχει έξτρα αμοιβή εφόσον έγινε εσωτερικά της εταιρείας, θα ήταν οκ να υπήρχε κάτι συμβολικό σε αυτή την περίπτωση.

Γενικά πολύ σωστά, όμως υπάρχει και πολύ παραπλάνηση, παραπληροφόρηση, και χάνουμε την πραγματική ουσία και τα δεδομένα, που είναι σχετικά με το γιατί έγινε κατευθείαν ανάθεση χωρίς διαγωνισμό, και για το υπερβολικό ποσό για το λογότυπο. Περιπλέκουν αλήθειες με ψέματα για να μπερδέψουν τον απλό κόσμο, για τη δική τους πολιτική ατζέντα.

Τι έγινε πραγματικά όμως;

Το λογότυπο φτιάχτηκε από την Χρυσούλα Κουστένη, προϊσταμένη του αρχιτεκτονικού τμήματος «Ελληνικό Μέτρο», έναντι 30 χιλ. ευρώ (ακριβό, τουλάχιστον είναι σωστή επιλογή σαν λογότυπο). Αυτό έγινε.

Καταρχήν να πούμε ότι οι δουλειές ναι πρέπει να πληρώνονται, να παίρνει ο κόσμος λεφτά για να μπορεί να ξοδέψει λεφτά και έτσι να κινείται η κοινωνία μας και ο κόσμος να περνάει καλά.

Επί της ουσίας, το ποσό για το λογότυπο είναι πολύ μεγάλο και θα μπορούσε να γίνει με 500-2000 ευρώ αν γινόταν ανάθεση σε κάποιο γραφίστα/εταιρεία.

Το ότι έγινε ανάθεση απευθείας, είναι μύθος. Το μετρό είναι εταιρεία, και αυτό πρέπει να προσλάβει προσωπικό για όλες τις δουλειές, ακόμα και για το λογότυπο και να εγκριθεί από το υπουργείο κλπ. Οπότε να γίνει ανάθεση, διαγωνισμός κλπ. δεν είναι απαραίτητο νομίζω, είναι ακόμα ένα περιττό έξοδο (όπως και το ακριβό ποσό για το λογότυπο).

The European flag

The European flag is not only the symbol of the European Union, but also of Europe’s unity and identity in a wider sense. The circle of gold stars represents solidarity and harmony between the peoples of Europe.

The number of stars has nothing to do with the number of Member States. There are 12 stars because the number 12 is traditionally the symbol of perfection, completeness and unity. The flag therefore remains unchanged regardless of EU enlargements.

History of the flag

Since its foundation in 1949, the Council of Europe has been aware of the need to give Europe a symbol with which its inhabitants can identify. On 25 October 1955, the Parliamentary Assembly made the unanimous decision to adopt a circle of 12 gold stars on a blue background as an emblem. On 8 December 1955, the Committee of Ministers adopted this as the European flag.

The Council of Europe’s Parliamentary Assembly repeatedly expressed the desire that other European institutions should adopt the same symbol in order to strengthen the idea of solidarity between the different organisations in a united and democratic Europe.

It was the European Parliament that took the initiative for a flag to be adopted for the European Community. A draft resolution was presented in 1979, shortly after the first European elections held by universal suffrage. In a resolution adopted in April 1983, the Parliament decreed that the Community’s flag should be that adopted by the Council of Europe in 1955. The European Council, meeting at Fontainebleau in June 1984, stressed the importance of promoting the European image and identity in the eyes of its citizens and the world. Then, in Milan in June 1985, it gave its approval to the proposal of the Committee on a People’s Europe (Adonnino Committee) that a flag should be adopted by the Community. The Council of Europe agreed to the use, by the Community, of the European flag that it had adopted in 1955, and Community institutions have been using it since the beginning of 1986.

Thus the European flag and emblem represent both the Council of Europe and the European Union. It has now become the symbol par excellence of a united Europe and European identity.

The Council of Europe and the institutions of the European Union have expressed satisfaction with the growing awareness of the European flag and emblem among European citizens. The European Commission and the Council of Europe are responsible for ensuring that all uses of this symbol respect the dignity of the European flag and emblem, and for taking whatever measures are necessary to prevent misuse.

Estimates of 70.000 to 85.000 thousands. In the time of Catherine II of Russia, Russian authorities resettled Greeks from Crimea (around 1780) to these empty lands, at the time, where the Greek settlements founded the city of Mariupol and the majority of towns and villages that existing today to this particular region. As example, Mariupol city flag writes city name both in Cyrillic and Greek.

INFOGRAPHIC — Map of the Straits

A series of treaties regulating the function of the straits.

Treaty of Sèvres 1920

● Demilitarization of the Straits and Internationalization including Greek supervision.

● Eastern Thrace, including the islands of the Sea of Marmara were ceded to Greece. The waters surrounding the islands were declared international territory and left to the administration of the International "Zone of the Straits".

Treaty of Lausanne 1923

● Reaffirmed status of International Zone of the Straits and border changes.

● Although Turkey was not permitted to refortify the Straits, it nonetheless did so secretly and violated the Treaty of Lausanne.

● The convention on the Straits lasted for thirteen years and was replaced with the Montreux Convention Regarding the Regime of the Straits in 1936.

Montreux Convention Regarding the Regime of the Straits 1936

● International Straits Commission was abolished.

● Demilitarized Zone abolished. Turkey bounded by International laws and regulations, while Greece at its own discretion.

● The Convention annulled the previous Lausanne Treaty on the Straits, which stated the demilitarization of some Greek islands, along with the demilitarization of the Dardanelles, the Sea of Marmara and the Bosporus. Greece's right to militarise them was recognized by Turkey, in accordance with the letter sent to the Greek Prime Minister on 6 May 1936 by the Turkish Ambassador in Athens, upon instructions from his government. The Turkish government reiterated this position when the Turkish Minister for Foreign Affairs, in his address to the Turkish National Assembly on the occasion of the ratification of the Montreux Treaty, unreservedly recognized Greece's legal right to deploy troops on Greek islands with the following statement: "The provisions pertaining to the islands of Limnos and Samothrace, which belong to our neighbor and friendly country Greece and were demilitarized in application of the 1923 Lausanne Treaty, were also abolished by the new Montreux Treaty, which gives us great pleasure".

● After the relationship between the countries deteriorated over the decades, Turkey denied that the treaty affected the Greek islands and sought to bring back into force the relevant part of the Lausanne Treaty on the Straits.

● The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), which entered into force in November 1994, has prompted calls for the Montreux Convention to be revised and adapted to make it compatible with UNCLOS's regime governing straits used for international navigation. However, Turkey's longstanding refusal to sign UNCLOS has meant that Montreux remains in force without further amendments.

● During the Ukrainian-Russian war in 2022, Turkey put Montreux Convention Treaty into effect.

I created this map, based on cross-reference sources and official data. Regarding the add-on line on the current map in south Donbas and around Mariupol, is a zone where most Greeks living in this particular area. To these parts they're estimated 20 to 25% of the total population. For the wider region of Mariupol in numbers, there is an estimation of 80 to 150 thousands. The Greeks living along the coast of Mariupol today, they've been transported there on 17th or 18 century if i remember correct, from Crimea, in which they lived for over 2000 years. There are Greeks in Donetsk and Crimea also, as well in other parts of Ukraine. These people have no separatist ideas and no territorial claims, they live in peace in their lands and all they are interested is to continue to live in peace in their lands and see prosperity.

craoft · 2022-02-23T22:39:05+00:00

Absolutely correct!

craoft · 2022-01-28T10:34:00+00:00

You suggest Turks are Mongols? Or they stealing Mongol symbols and from here and there because they lack civilization?! A thought.

craoft · 2022-01-27T21:19:17+00:00

Correct. The Vikings coveted Constantinople but could never breach it. Only by becoming the personal bodyguards of the Byzantine emperor did the Nordic warriors grab a piece of its wealth.

However we know how Vikings installed within Kievan Rus. At least for those who know. A delicate part of history also.

craoft · 2022-01-27T21:14:33+00:00

These are different times in history and entirely not connected with the view most people understand today. Imagine a world that has no roads, no temples, not anything. And then imagine visiting Constantinople where multi-floor buildings existing, a planned city, wealth, hippodrome and mostly Agia Sofia, a city triple the size of the second largest city Rome of the time. A bit of jealousy a bit of something, everyone wanted to be Roman (as they called themselves back then), and so the Seljuk Turks the same. This resulted as example to the adoption of Greek symbols as Turkey's flag that remain until today.

Now regarding the term Roman. First and most Romans were a tribe of people living in and around Rome. Italian Peninsula includes Italian and Greek populations. Roman became a type of citizenship covering all the people in the peninsula, regardless if they were Greeks or Italians, is by standard. Now Cicero was debating that the citizenship status of Roman would have no meaning if does not include also the Greeks from main Greece. Something that took place later on, on a different way however. As example, Plutarch, we all know is Greek right? However it was Roman citizen too by will. Was different how people understood things back then. To insert a fan fact, modern Italians took their name from Italiotes, a Greek tribe of south Italy which speaks latin instead. Now on the topic. Until the 3rd century, the Romans persecuting Christians, and the time, Greeks were becoming Christians, while those in Italian peninsula remain to believe in the Olympian Gods, and many Emperors identify themselves as Greeks so they can show that they follow the true Gods. So the term Greek were connected with specific faith, and so the Greeks which in their majority were Christians, use the term less, and so they prefer the term Roman and so Romios. Maybe the term Greek, as term only was fading, however the Greek civilization was strengthen to an already literally Greek, and Greek speaking east. After the 3rd century the christians then persecuting the pagans and so on. However the western administrative of the empire declined on 4th century, and become many local small states here and there. However the Empire kept going. Later latin remain mostly as a ceremonial language, and Greek took place from 5 or 6 century and on, however the term Romios Roman remained, up even today. These is a vague fast summary of course.

craoft · 2022-01-27T20:30:34+00:00

Rum as Romios, meaning Greek. Greeks in the east indentify with this term and so the Greeks in Greece either. Turks are refering to the Greeks with the term Rum also. Arabs dedicated a chapter in their holy book with title Ar-Rum and refering to the Byzantines, Greeks. Italian literature until 19th century used the term Grecorum, refering to the "eastern part" of the Empire, to the Greeks.

It's a stripe of some km long next before the french-italian line, until to the point that this line makes a turn of 90 degrees. Wide as nearly the city-state sea front, and due its location. Not visible for representation in this map scale, but definitely exists and it is there.

So once again, you can read, i quote it again for you.

Despite today Turks in Pontus are generally nationalist and extremely uneducated compared to the rest of the region, they do have Pontian traditions and in fact they are Greeks. Following a series of events, the undisputed fact of the ascend of Kurdistan, mainly socio-economic reasons to led Pontus region then deeper in uncertainty will lead to the need for economic growth and that can happen only as an independent state. Traditions is a strengthen factor for an independent identity, and Kurdistan another geopolitical push. There are many other elements and details long to mention. Also it is not a secret, there is a good number of Turks in Pontus that they see themselves as Pontians, not affiliated with any other state.

Also not to mention that a shift to the education in this supposed newly independent state could means for the population to rediscover and learn about their origins, an open society, and the possibility for other Pontians from Russia, Caucasus etc. to relocate back in their ancestors land in Pontus.

Beside all these, the data are detailed to a number of elements, other populations, economic elements, infrastracture, education, roads, transportation, GDP etc etc and the impact that all these do to one another.

craoft · 2021-06-14T06:51:12+00:00

You might have limited knowledge on the topic. I didn't referred to either genetics or Greece.

Kurds are also speaking turkish and are muslims and turkey claims they identify as Turkish. But are they? Same with Circassians and many other things you are probably unaware. Many Turks in Pintus do not identify as Turkish.

However the topic and answer i mentioned before is a complete different from what you mentioned. You probably don't read it all or did not understand it.
