‘Ochi Day’ celebrated
Observed today is "Ochi" (def. "No") Day - one of the holidays which best illustrates the historic pride of Greek citizens. The celebration of the 28th of October 1940 marks the refusal of Greece to the forces of Axis and the ultimatum given to the Greek government on behalf of dictator Benito Mussolini, who required the free passage of the Italian army through Greek territory and the occupation of strategic parts of Greece.
