Greek naval cadets disciplined for anti-Turkey chants during March 25th parade

·

A Greek naval inquiry has concluded with disciplinary action against cadets involved in chanting offensive slogans against Turkey during the March 25th military parade.

The incident involved members of the Navy’s Non-Commissioned Officers School (SMYN), and while penalties were issued based on rank, no cadets were expelled.

In response, a senior officer with the rank of captain has been appointed as the new commander of the school—the first time such a high-ranking official has held the post.

The investigation was launched immediately after the parade to determine the facts and assign responsibility.

Both Greece’s military and political leadership condemned the incident, emphasising the importance of discipline and restraint.

Turkey denounced the chants as “arrogant” and “unacceptable,” and formally requested an explanation from Greek authorities through diplomatic channels.
