Attempted Greek media whitewash of Lavrion Camp shows it is PKK terrorist camp

ATHENS

A story meant to prove that a onetime refugee camp in Greece has not turned into a training ground for terrorists backfired, as the images and words in the story bolstered Türkiye’s thesis that it became a terrorist PKK haven.

A story from Greek news portal Newsbomb claimed that the Lavrion Camp was “not a training ground for the PKK,” but images taken inside the camp included symbols of the terrorist group PKK and images of terrorist leader Abdullah Ocalan as well as PKK terrorist members such as Viyan Soran and Sakine Cansiz.

Notably, writing on a camp wall called PKK terrorist Kasim Engin a “martyr.”

The story quoted people who denigrated Türkiye and showed the camp full of living spaces created for terrorist group members, PKK flags, and photos of terrorists.

A person interviewed in front of a giant poster featuring terrorist ringleader Ocalan claimed that "having PKK symbols and images of Ocalan in the camp doesn’t mean that this is a PKK camp.”

The PKK is listed as a terrorist organization by Türkiye, the European Union, and the US, and is responsible for the deaths of 40,000 people, including women, children, and infants.
