Is A Greek Military Overhaul An Attempt To Prevent A Coup? By Tyler Durden Published on ZeroHedge ( http://www.zerohedge.com) Created 11/01/2011 - 13:29 [1] Submitted by Tyler Durden [1] on 11/01/2011 13:29 -0400 Greece [2] While the calls for G-Pap's resignation grow louder and Merkozy's blood pressure rises, we couldn't help but notice a potentially significant action among the top military leaders in Greece. Athens News reports that the Minister of Defense is proposing a complete replacement of the country's 'top brass'. From Athens News: Top Brass Replaced [3]: In a surprise move, the defence minister proposed on Tuesday evening the complete replacement of the country’s top brass. At an extraordinary meeting of the Government Council of Foreign Affairs and Defence (Kysea), which comprises the prime minister and other key cabinet members, Defence Minister Panos Beglitis proposed the following changes to the army, navy and air force and the general staff: General Ioannis Giagkos, chief of the Greek National Defence General Staff, to be replaced by Lieutenant General Michalis Kostarakos Lieutenant General Fragkos Fragkoulis, chief of the Greek Army General Staff, to be replaced by lieutenant general Konstantinos Zazias Lieutenant General Vasilios Klokozas, chief of the Greek Air Force, to be replaced by air marshal Antonis Tsantirakis Vice-Admiral Dimitrios Elefsiniotis, chief of the Greek Navy General Staff, to be replaced by Rear-Admiral Kosmas Christidis It is understood that the personnel changes took many members of the government and of the armed forces by surprise. What better way to consolidate power than to bring in 'your guys' as the country lurches closer to all out chaos?
