I met him back in 1988 when he was supporting George Vasilious election campaign and then he was one of the most liberal and pro-solution people you could ever wish to meet,calling for friendship with Turkish Cypriots and blaming Kyprianou for wasting time and living in a dream world etc!
Vasiliou later got fed-up with his pomposity,after creating a very cushy and well-paid job for him, and seeing that his political career was in danger of floundering he became a turncoat,eventually making a 180 degree turn and supporting the hard-line,rejectionist policies of Papad!
Having climbed very high under his rule and also screwing up the Foreign Ministry job,he was desperate for his mentor to be re-elected and devastated when that did not happen,(although his second wifes advertising firm still made a handsome profit from the election campaign!)he offered to help Cassoulides fior the second round,knowing that he was detested by AKEL,with whom he was formerly associated, for not backing Christophias in round one!DISY of course showed him the door as well and since then he has been very low profile,holding private meetings with the son of Papadopulos,another slime bag, but one who at least has the honesty to air his views openly!
Maybe Lillikas thinks he can copy Winston Churchill,also one of the biggest political turncoats in British history who belonged to almost ever political party at some time in his career?But of course Lillikas has neither the brains or the charisma to be anything more than an odious creep who most people despise!I was also told by some people who are related to him that he did not bother to visit his own father when he was in hospital some time ago,alleging that he was 'too busy with important engagements elsewhere' and that he also never paid the owner of the restaurant where he held the reception for his first wedding years ago...
Need I say more?
