To all ANA subscribers:

The Panhellenic Federation of Journalists Unions (POESY) has called a 24-hour nationwide strike in all the mass media in Greece beginning at 6:00 a.m. Wednesday and running through 6:00 a.m. Thursday.

Due to the strike, which also affects Athens News Agency (ANA) staff, no news services will be dispatched by the ANA for the duration, while a security staff will be on stand-by in the event of urgent news.

We ask our subscribers for their understanding for any problems that may arise.

The ANA news services will resume normally as of 6:00 a.m. Thursday.
