For the first time in history, a contingent of Cypriot reserve frogmen will march in the Ohi Day military parade in Thessaloniki on October 28. The Association of Cypriot Reserve Frogmen, known as SEVAK, will send 24 of its members to take part in Greece's largest annual military parade. The OYK frogmen are among the most elite special operations units associated with the Hellenic military tradition. Their appearance alongside Greek forces in Thessaloniki carries obvious symbolic weight, with Cyprus and Greece presenting a unified front on one of the most significant dates in the Greek calendar. Ohi Day marks the moment in 1940 when Greece rejected Mussolini's ultimatum and chose to fight, drawing the country into World War II. Thessaloniki hosts the main parade each year, drawing tens of thousands of spectators and the eyes of the Greek world. The inclusion of Cypriot forces this year makes October 28, 2026 a milestone for both countries. #OhiDay #Cyprus #Greece
