As part of its ongoing exhibition of drawings, maps and watercolors executed by amateur artist soldiers of the Allied Army of the Orient posted to Thessaloniki during the Great War (1914-18), the Teloglion Foundation will also screen related footage from the film archives of the French Ministry of Defense on Wednesday, January 16.

Fifteen people have been arrested in a drug sweep in downtown Thessaloniki in the last 24 hours, police in the northern port city said on Thursday.

The operation was conducted by the departments of security and emergency response, and covered the city center and the area around Aghiou Georgiou Square, focusing in particular on the vicinity of Aristotle University.

A monument on the campus of Thessaloniki's Aristotle University (AUT) which commemorates a Jewish cemetery destroyed by the Nazis was targeted by vandals on Tuesday, the second time in two weeks.

The perpetrators daubed blue paint and painted a cross on the monument.
