Speech #940124372

I speak compassionately about Greece because I think what has been done is not in the best interests of Greece. not in the best interests of its outstanding Premier. Mr. Karamanlis. not in the best interests of Cyprus. not in the best interests of the refugees in Cyprus. and because if something is not done to break the impasse which has resulted because of a situation originally inaugurated by the socalled colonels clique of the Greek Government. it means that there will be no progress made. and that these Greek refugees. the Cypriot refugees on Cyprus. will continue to be in a sorry state. and that improvement in TurkishCypriot relations will not occur. and that. in my opinion. the situation in Greece will become more difficult for Prime Minister Karamanlis and will be further away than ever from a possible settlement which could. I think. be achieved and should be in the best interests of Greece and Turkey.
