Clark Clifford had nothing to do with the 12 February 1977 Guidelines I refer to professor V.Coufadakis article in Agora published 16 August 2010 and wish to comment as follows regarding para  3 where he writes: “… The problems confronting the UN sponsored talks are not new.

THIS MESSAGE MAY BE FORWARDED TO ANY SUITABLE RECIPIENT Dear Compatriots, AHEPA’s declaration is completely AGAINST the consensus of its own “Cyprus-Hellenic Affairs Committee” assembly (held in Montreal on July 15th 2010), following my presentation on behalf of the Movement for FREEDOM & JUSTICE IN CYPRUS.

Mr. Hilmi Akil, “RepresentativeTurkish Republic of Northern Cyprus” (sic) sent a reply.*2 to Daniel Pipes’ Turkey in Cyprus vs. Israel in Gaza.*1 I am not particularly thrilled with the overdue outspokenness against the crimes of Turkey by Mr. Pipes. He obviously has his own agenda but nevertheless his support is cautiously welcome. Mr. Akil’ s [...]

Dear Editor, I refer to Mr. Hilmi Akil’s letter of 26th July, 2010. Mr. Akil knows full well that in 1974 Turkey invaded Cyprus and recognition of the illegal regime is forbidden by two Security Council resolutions the 541 of 1983 and 550 of 1984. The island cannot be unified as “two states” as Turkey [...]

Ημερομηνία: Κυριακή, 2 Μάιος 2010, 22:23 Είμαι Έλλην Αξιωματικός. Δεν μπορώ να βλέπω την πατρίδα μου να ατιμάζεται. Κουράστηκα να διαβάζω μηνύματα με γεωστρατηγικές ή γεωπολιτικές αναλύσεις για το πώς συντελείται αυτό από την παγκόσμια διακυβέρνηση της νέας τάξης ή τους «Έλληνες» εκπροσώπους της! Δεν αντέχω άλλο!

By Dinos Toumazos Although many countries in the western world accept waves of desperate migrants, with differences in intensity and dimension from country to country, the phenomenon has an exceptional relevance  for us here in Australia. This is due to the following facts: Excluding the small percentage of indigenous people, we, the remaining residents of [...]

Letter from organisations of the Diaspora to the President of the Republic of Cyprus Mr Christofias

…Η Ελλάδα της διασποράς με ενδιαφέρον για τον αγώνα τη Κύπρου και με αγάπη προς τον Κυπριακό Ελληνισμό διαχρονικά παρακολουθεί πολύ προσεκτικά τα γεγονότα στην Κύπρο. Από την ημερομηνία που αναλάβατε την Προεδρία της Δημοκρατίας είχαμε απορίες, οι απορίες σταδιακά είχαν μεταλλαχθεί σε έντονη ανησυχία και τώρα πια σε αγανάκτηση!

A Dinos Toumazos article, a tribute to George Bizos, Nelson Mandela’s lawyer and right hand man, as a patriot and a scholar.

Κατ’ αρχήν, άξιος ποιας πατρίδας o Γεώργιος Μπίζος;
Και των δύο: της φυσικής και της θετής, της Ελλάδας και της Νοτίου Αφρικής. Και εντέλει ΑΞΙΟΣ της Οικουμένης, της κοινής πατρίδας όλων των ανθρώπων, ως φορέας του οικουμενικού ελληνικού πνεύματος και των αξιών του, που κουβαλεί στις πνευματικές και ψυχικές του αποσκευές.

On January 20, 2010 Andrew Apostolou published an op ed piece in the Wall Street Journal titled “The Shame of Modern Greece”; the points so obliviously forced or ignored the facts (both as to the burning of the synagogue and the historical context) and maliciously facile that I felt compelled to respond.

In your new position as a high ranking official of the United Nations, you will be called upon to play a key role in protecting and promoting the fundamental principles of international law and order, and upholding in a constructive and positive manner the values upon which the organisation you represent is based.
