The Debate on Enosis: 1929

Greek Cypriots often remind their listeners that the movement to join Greece began much earlier than the 1950s, and in fact that is true. Sentiment for enosis was evident early in the twentieth century, and became the subject of continuous discussion. In this excerpt from his history of the 1931 confrontation with Britain over Cyprus= political status, G. S. Georghallides provides a glimpse of the nature of the debate over the island=s fate among Greek Cypriots. Not only does he provide a vivid picture of the tone and substance of the discourse, he signals how many different views there were - - in sharp contrast to the apparent, and rather rigid, uniformity of opinion characterizing the Greek Cypriot community in the 1950s, enforced by EOKA and the Church. He also indicates how significant the left-wing labor unions were in the politics of the island, another dimension of politics submerged in the conservative fundamentalism that emerged in mid-century. Georghallides is one of Cyprus=s most distinguished and accomplished historians.

Introduction
After the Catastrophy in Asia Minor and the Lozanne Treaty, someone can observe a lack of national planning, which passes through the politicaly organized action in all of its aspects.

Greece appears to be playing a suicidal role in a play, which is directed by known international interests.

The objective of the Hellenic-Turkish "Dialogue" has acted as a mechanism for the ... psychological disarmament of the Helleic people, for the selling out of the Hellenic sovereign rights, for the sake of certain interests, contrary to the national ones and dependent ideological costructions.

The key of this mechanism, under the form of soothing and retrieting adaptability, did not certainly face the cynically indifferent West (US and Europe), nor the unprovoked hostillity from Ankara, which gets magnified as much as the internal Turkish crisis elevates along to the dispute and consequent attack of its political system.

Greece, after permanently wipping out the word "soothing" from the political and national vocabulary, must rapidly develop multilevel strategies in the fields of defence, politics and economy, in order to upgrade the Hellenic geopolitical and strategic position in the present international system, which is characterized by anarchy and obvious collisions.

The existing danger of Turkish threats coexists with the opportunity for the rebirth of Hellenism.

The choice of those who will be managing - in a less scandalous way - does not reflect Hellenism's true capacity.

The non exchaustive power of Hellenism, by effectivelly utilizing the qualities of ancient Hellas, will soon be called to give an answer to the current reality of Turkish expansionism.

Identities in Question:<O:P> </O:P>Greek-Turkish Relations in a Period of Transformation?(1)<O:P> </O:P>
By Ayten Gundogdu

Editor's Summary: This article analyzes recent changes in Greek-Turkish relations, characterized by the emergence of a positive atmosphere in the bilateral relations of two countries historically associated with an enduring conflict. It considers the roots of these changes, especially the effects of the Cold War's end and the problem of strategic disorientation embodied by the Imia-Kardak crisis of 1996. The article concludes with an effort to provide a constructivist analysis of the "critical rethinking" process in both countries.<O:P> </O:P><O:P></O:P>

"Some want to say that what we are living through today in our Greek-Turkish relationship is simply a 'fairy tale.' And yet it is not. Because our people demand it! I therefore say this: it is time to dare the impossible." <O:P></O:P>

-- Greek Foreign Minister George Papandreou, October 1999(2)<O:P> </O:P>

Background paper on the Cyprus conflict
(Moderator: Dr Ron Fisher)

NOTE: This background paper is prepared by the Directorate General of Political Affairs for the seminar "Youth and conflict resolution", where participants with personal conflict experience are expected to discuss other conflicts, lesser known to them.

In describing the position of one side, the paper contains textual and graphic information, which is not necessarily acceptable and may be offending to the other side. Views are clearly attributed throughout the text. Presenting them does not imply endorsement by the Council of Europe Secretariat.

English lyrics It only takes a smile

I remember you so often
Like the wind calls out my name
I remember you so well
Like the first rain in autumn that lullaby's me

I remember you and I can't endure
Not to speak with you
I have been only an inspiration
And I'm breathing on your lips

Come closer to me
Come to my dreams
Tell me where I can look for you
Where I can flow to find you
Tell me where I can look on
Where I can look for you

I remember you so peaceful
And I was afraid
I remember you so well the time you leave me
And I was shouting

I remember you and I can't endure
Not to sleep at night
I have been an outcry and to the countenance
Of this world am so afraid

Come closer to me
Come to my dreams
Tell me where I can look on
Where I can look for you...
