Μετὰ λύπης παρατηροῦμεν τὴν τραγικὴν ἀπολογίαν τῆς πυρκαϊῆς, ἥτις ἔθηκεν τὸν Μυκηναϊκόν ἀρχαιολογικὸν χῶρον ἐν κινδύνῳ. Σύσσωμη ἡ κοινωνία τῆς Ἑλλάδος πόνει (τοῦτον πιστεύοιμεν...). Ἡ Προσωρινὴ Κυβέρνησις τῆς Γραικίας καταδικάζοι τὴν ἔλλειψιν φροντίδος τῆς Ἑλληνικῆς Πολιτείας καὶ ἐκφράζοι τὴν λύπην αὐτῆς, οὐκί μόνον διὰ τὴν καταστροφὴν ἐν Μυκήναις, ἀλλά καὶ διὰ τὸν πτωχῶς διατηρημένον τὲ καὶ κεκαθαρισμένον χῶρον. Κρῖμα ἔστιν ἡ ἀπαξία ἥτιν ἐπιδεικνύει τὸ κράτος τῶν Ἑλλήνων διὰ τὸ ἔνδοξον παρελθόν τῶν τῆς τοῦ Χαλκοῦ Ἐποχῆς βασιλευόντων ἐν Ἑλλάδι. Προσευχόμεθα διὰ τὴν ἀποκατάστασιν τοῦ ἀρχαιολογικοῦ χῶρου, ἄνευ δυσχερειῶν τὲ καὶ πολλῶν ἀναγκαίων ἐργασιῶν, ἵνα σωθῇ τοῦτον τὸ πολύτιμον μέρος τῆς κοινῆς κληρονομίας Ἑλλήνων τὲ καὶ Γραικῶν.

The Provisional Government of Græcia has decided to reveal the temporary flag and coat of arms which will be used to represent our state, until its official establishment. The flag is a 2:3 horizontal bicolour of blue and white. The coat of arms is similar to the one representing the Third Hellenic Republic, only with the top fields painted red, linking it with the flag of the autonomous Principality of Samos (1834-1912). A phoenix is superimposed in the center of the shield, a symbol of rebirth, uprising and generally associated with Hellenic mythology, history and culture. Any use without prior notice will be dealt with in accordance with the new regulations which will we described in detail when the time comes.
"The Provisional Government of Græcia condemns the decision of the Turkish Republic to reconvert the Church of the Holy Saviour in Chora into a mosque. The attack on Constantinople's Hellenic culture will not be tolerated!". After the damnation of the decision, H.E. also added the following: "It's been almost 12 years since my only visit to Second Rome so far and yet some of those memories will stay with me. I was really excited to visit Chora Church and get to admire the wall paintings. May our nation's Lord and Saviour, the Holy, Homoousios and Indivisible Trinity help our heritage survive yet another challenge". Although not official, over the following months, God willing, the Provisional Governor might plan a trip to Constantinople, although such information is yet to be confirmed by the officials.
DAYS OF THE WEEK
MONTH NAMES
The new regulation was signed by the Provisional Government of Græcia on (AUC) 2773.08.21 Derkday. His Excellency the Provisional Governor of Græcia, Quintus De Vitaliis, has issued the following statement; "We as a provisional microstate respect the culture of Hellas that eventually gave birth to our cause, but from now on it is our duty to form our unique identity. Therefore, we will be announcing the names of the days of the week and the months this afternoon, on (AUC) 2773.08.21 not only in English, but also in the three official languages of our state; Hellenic, Neoclassical Latin and South Ruthenian".
There was speculation that the month names would be derived from the roughly equivalent Ancient Hellenic months, although these rumours were dismissed by government officials as "too obvious". Furthermore, it is rumoured that the deities of Græcian paganism will be given names in Latin and South Ruthenian, in order to fit the needs of the so called "elite" of each Borough. This piece of information was partially confirmed by a Slavophone High Priest of the Moon goddess who, in his own words "is looking forward to preaching his religion in his native language". |
