Boulio asked:
"I have read about this nikitas as well there was a agreement between Dekleris and a turkish lawyer on july 13,th 1974 two days before the junta action in cyprus,do you have any info on the agreement?"
Dekleris gave an interview on Greek Tv in which he described a party to celebrate the conclusion of the agreement. He graphically described how Clerides and Denktash indulged in an "orgy of wine consumption" to let off steam after such a long and hard negotiation. If memory serves, he gave the timing of this meeting at asome time in 1973 but not July. I seem to recall him saying it was springtime, and he said the party took place at a village, but he did not say which one.
As for the right of Greece to be involved in the talks, it is obvious that if there is going to be renewal of the guarantor status, it has a right to know what it will take on as guarantor and not for the sake of Cypriots.
Cyprus is no longer anywhere near the front page of Greek news. The Orams case was NOT reported on Greek TV, while it was reported on BBC and CNN. Greece counts itself lucky to be rid of the Cyprus problem, and its only use now is to turn the screws on Turkey over EU membership, but not for the benefit of Cyprus, it is for the benefit of Greece in the Aegean. Those who harp on about Enosis are living in a time warp.
