Greek National Day (Ochi) , 

Cyprus

Details to be confirmed

28 Oct 2010  

The Greek National Day remembers the day in October 1940 when the Greek General Ioannis Metaxas answered a defiant 'ochi' ('no' in Greek) to Italy's request to cross the country en route to Russia. The answer pitted the nations against one another and forced the Italians to invade the island ultimately dragging Greece into the war. Greece celebrates its defiance with a series of national events, parades and church services.
