Parmenion

Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras attended Parmenion 2015 military exercise on Friday.

He watched the military exercises with enthusiasm, enjoyed a trial flight in C130 cockpit, met the army bakers and tasted their bread and took selfies with the staff.

Warning sirens will go off in tests all over Greece on Tuesday, as part of the nationwide civil defence exercise “Parmenion”, the Greek Police announced.

At 11:00 am on Tuesday morning, the sirens will sound intermittently and at differing sound levels for 60 seconds, until 11:05 am, when an uninterrupted siren will sound for another 60 seconds.

Civil defense sirens are expected to go off all over Greece on Wednesday as part of the annual military and public warning exercise dubbed Parmenion after the Macedonian general of Philip II and Alexander the Great.
