tron saint Agios Dimitrios on October 26, Thessaloniki In- ternational Fair week), Greek flags are flown on OASTH buses. In addition, in 1985, OASTH participated in vari- ous activities to celebrate both the 2,300th anniversary of the founding of Thessaloniki and the 50th anniversary of the first International Fair. In 2012, on the 100th anni- versary since the liberation of Thessaloniki from the Ot- tomans, OASTH created a special bus line to commem-
orate this important date. Specifically, a special bus line started from the city centre and ended at the Railway and Balkan Wars Museums. The organisation was also present at the 100th anniversary of the Asia Minor Catas- trophe (2022), while also raising awareness of the mur- der of 19-year-old Alkis Kambanos by hooligans, both in the year of the murder (2022) and on the anniversaries that followed.
