The Greek government in a surprise move changed the three Chiefs of Staff of the Armed Forces

The new Army Chief of Staff is lieutenant general Alkiviadis Stefanis, until now commander of the NRDC-GR, the new Navy Chief of Staff is vice admiral Nikolaos Tsounis, until now Commander of the National Defense School, and the new Air force Chief of Staff is lieutenant general Christos Christodoulou, until now commander of Tactical Air Force Command.

The General Chief of Staff Admiral Evagelos Apostolakis remains in his position.

They replace respectively, lieutenant general Vasilis Tellidis, vice admiral George Giakoumakis and lieutenant general Christos Vaitsis.

What is, however, a big surprise is the fact that lieutenant general Christos Vaitsis is abroad on an official visit representing the Hellenic Air Force and the country. This move is set to bring a lot of bad commends for the Greek government’s timing…
