[01] Athens reiterates to UN that Cyprus issue a problem of invasion,
occupation
Athens, 11/02/1997 (ANA)
Greece reiterated yesterday to the United Nations secretary
general's envoy on the Cyprus question that the problem on the
island republic was one of invasion and occupation and not only
of intercommunal differences.
Speaking to the press after talks with the UN chief's envoy, Han
Sung Joo, Foreign Under-secretary Yiannos Kranidiotis said Mr.
Han had briefed him on the results of his recent talks in
Nicosia and Ankara, and that UN Secretary General Kofi Annan's
letter to Prime Minister Costas Simitis was also discussed.
Mr. Han Sung Joo, who arrived in Athens on Sunday, met yesterday
morning with Mr. Kranidiotis and later with Mr. Simitis.
Mr. Kranidiotis said he stressed that the Cyprus issue was not
only a difference between the two communities on the island
republic but a question of invasion and occupation, and in that
sense, the key to future developments was in Turkey's hands.
He reiterated Athens' position that the Cyprus issue was an
international and a European problem, which did not solely
concern relations between the two communities on the island
republic or between Greece and Turkey.
"What constitutes an anomaly in Cyprus is the Turkish occupation
and certainly not the Cypriots' right to self-defense," Mr.
Kranidiotis added.
Greece supported a proposal by Cypriot President Glafcos
Clerides for the demilitarization of the island and the
installation of a multi-national force to maintain peace and
stability, he added.
Greece also supports the resumption of direct talks in Cyprus.
"(These talks) should begin as soon as possible," he noted,
adding, however, that "common ground" should first be found,
that is, a convergence (of views) providing for some chance of
success in the talks.
He noted, however, that there did not appear to be much cause
for optimism with regard to this "common ground" and added that
efforts would continue and current contacts had not been
completed.
Mr. Han confined himself to thanking Athens for what he called
"important talks" which formed part of a tour of the region in
an attempt to explore all possibilities for promoting an
agreement on resolving the Cyprus issue through the resumption
of direct talks.
Asked whether he shared Mr. Kranidiotis' estimate that Turkey
held the key to further developments, Mr. Han avoided a direct
answer, noting the importance of the support of the
international community, including Greece and Turkey, to solving
the problem.
[02] Athens unhappy with slant of UN chief's letter
Athens, 11/02/1997 (ANA)
Government spokesman Dimitris Reppas yesterday expressed the
government's displeasure with the content of a letter from UN
Chief Annan to the premier on the Cyprus issue, which was
published in the Sunday newspaper "To Vima".
"Of course (the government) cannot be pleased when certain
problems are not dealt with at their source," he noted,
reiterating the position that the Cyprus problem was a question
of invasion and occupation. With regard to a potential
initiative by Washington on the issue, Mr. Reppas observed that
the Greek government had no official knowledge of any position
on the part of the US.
Questioned on recent statements by Turkish Cypriot leader Rauf
Denktash objecting to Cyprus' accession into the European Union,
Mr. Reppas stressed that Cyprus could not be held hostage to
Turkey.
Referring to Greece's decision to submit figures on violations
and infringements of Greece's airspace in the Aegean to NATO,
Mr. Reppas said the figures would be submitted over a period of
four months and that it was in the country's interests to prove
its claims.
[03] UK's Rifkind fears war over Cyprus
London, 11/02/1997 (Reuter/ANA)
British Foreign Secretary Malcolm Rifkind said in the early
hours of this morning there was a serious possibility of Greece
and Turkey going to war over Cyprus.
Mr. Rifkind, speaking on BBC Radio, also accused Athens and
Ankara of lacking the political will to find a solution.
"When relations are already bad and tense and difficult and both
sides appear to be looking for an excuse to make them worse,
that is pretty grim," he said.
Asked whether there might be conflict between Greece and Turkey
in the Aegean, Mr. Rifkind said: "It has to be a serious
possibility."
"I am not as confident as logic would imply because there has
been a real lack of political will on both sides," he said.
Britain expressed alarm last month over a Greek Cypriot decision
to buy Russian surface-to-air missiles, saying it could
destabilize what is already one of the most heavily militarized
areas of the world.
On a visit to the divided island in December, Mr. Rifkind told
Greek Cypriot leaders the planned purchase would be a "big step
in the wrong direction."
The planned acquisition of the S-300 system would neutralize the
air superiority Turkey has had since 1974 when its troops
invaded the northern third of Cyprus.
[04] Commission sees positive results in Greek economy
Brussels, 11/02/1997 (ANA - G. Daratos)
The European Commission's annual report on the performance of
European Union member-states' economies in 1996, expected to be
publicized in the next few days, acknowledges in its draft text
on Greece that positive results are arising from implementation
of a revised convergence program.
However, the Commission insists on the ascertainment that Greek
public deficits have a structural nature, and for this reason
structural policies are required to remedy existing fiscal
imbalances.
According to reports, the special chapter on the development of
the Greek economy in 1996 is not expected to have major changes,
additions and corrections reshaping its present content, but
will contain predictions expressing satisfaction over the
government's efforts and estimates of a 2.4 per cent growth rate
in the country over the past year.
On the question of inflation, the report assesses an average of
6.9 per cent for 1997 and does not expect unemployment to exceed
9 per cent of the working population.
The European Commission also hails a package of measures
implemented by the government, for the first time in the
country's history, and aimed at reducing public expenditures.
The Commission anticipates that this initiative will result in
almost the doubling of the GDP's primary surplus in 1997 as
against 1996, which in turn will contribute to a decrease in the
country's excessive public debt.
The European Commission's report was initially expected to be
publicized last week, but certain last-minute changes in the
text necessitated a postponement.
According to sources, the report stresses the crucial nature of
1997 for all the EU countries wishing to participate in Economic
and Monetary Union (EMU) from the beginning and at the same time
adopting a common European currency, the Euro. These countries
must reduce inflation and fiscal deficits to levels set out by
the Maastricht Treaty, and these decreases must be achieved this
year if they wish their accession to the third phase of EMU to
be approved, which is expected to begin operation in 1999.
The report refers primarily to the performances of EU countries
in 1996, making hesitant efforts to set out certain predictions
for 1997 and 1998 and without yet having received all necessary
information from all countries. Consequently, the Commission' s
first full predictions for the current year will be included in
its next economic report expected to circulate in May.
The second reason why the European Commission does not wish to
risk predictions is the recent worsening of conditions in
Germany's labor market, which at 4.6 million unemployed shows
the highest unemployment rate (12.6 per cent) since 1993. As a
result, a delay is necessary to include these latest
developments.
[05] Melbourne to host conference on Hellenic research foundations
Melbourne, 11/02/1997 (ANA - S. Hatzimanolis)
Plans for the Second International Conference of Hellenic
Research Foundations to be held this coming August in Melbourne
were announced on Sunday at the city's Greek consulate.
The title of the congress, held to celebrate the 100th
anniversary of Melbourne's Greek community, is "Hellenism in the
21st Century".
It will be subsidized by the Greek and Cypriot foreign
ministries.
Guest speakers include academics from Oxford and the Sorbonne as
well as from Greece, Cyprus and Australia. Seminars and other
events will also be held in other Australian cities on theme of
the future of Hellenism.
[06] Stephanopoulos urges increase in productivity during Pyrgos visit
Athens, 11/02/1997 (ANA)
President of the Republic Kostis Stephanopoulos visited the
western Peloponnese city of Pyrgos yesterday to attend
celebrations marking the feast day of the munici-pality's patron
saint, Agios Haralambos.
The president was declared honorary citizen, while Pyrgos Mayor
Georgios Dimitrakopoulos awarded him the town's gold key.
During his speech, Mr. Stephanopoulos referred to Greece's
domestic and foreign problems, stressing that all classes must
become productive, as foreseen in the country's obligations
towards the European Union.
Speaking on foreign issues, he said the country faces difficult
times with new characteristics, one of which is participation in
the EU.
"Our participation in this... creates obligations for us, one of
which is an increase of productivity," he said.
He added that as regards national issues, Greece is not prepared
to back down on any of its sovereign rights.
[07] Stephanopoulos, Constantopoulos to meet tomorrow
Athens, 11/02/1997 (ANA)
President of the Republic Kostis Stephanopoulos and President of
the Coalition of the Left and Progress, Nikos Constantopoulos,
will hold a meeting on Wednesday during which the latter will
brief the president on the result of his recent visit to Cyprus
as well as his party's positions on the course of national
issues and planned initiatives on Greece's foreign policy issues.
[08] Synaspismos denounces police actions in Albania
Athens, 11/02/1997 (ANA)
Coalition of the Left and Progress (Synaspismos) issued an
announcement yesterday condemning police assaults against
protesters in Vlore, Albania, expressing concern at the
"existing political repression and terrorism against opposition
forces."
Synaspismos called on Athens to immediately undertake an
initiative to see that the European Union will promote a
specific series of proposals and measures ensuring political
stability and development of all Balkan countries.
Concerning Albania, the party maintains that "the international
factor must abandon its stance of silent encouragement or
tolerance exhibited by the Berisha regime and seek respect for
human rights and political freedoms in the country."
[09] Simitis, Skandalidis meet on ruling party issues
Athens, 11/02/1997 (ANA)
The restructuring of ruling party PASOK was the focus of talks
yesterday between Prime Minister and PASOK President Costas
Simitis and PASOK Secretary Costas Skandalidis. Mr. Skandalidis
said that he had put forward his proposals on the next phase of
the party's restructuring.
[10] Open Skies Treaty trial flights scheduled over Larisa
Athens, 11/02/1997 (ANA)
Greece will co-operate with Germany in the use of a German
aircraft for trial flights to observe and photograph the Larisa
region between Feb. 10-15 within the framework of preparing
implementation of the Open Skies Treaty.
Observers from Russia, Ukraine, Romania, Italy and Spain have
been invited to attend the flights.
The Open Skies Treaty was signed in Helsinki on March 24, 1992,
and establishes a system of overflights over all territory of
participant countries, which aims to achieving transparency on
military activities. This facilitates control regarding
compliance with existing or future agreements on controlling and
reducing armaments, while the possibility of preventing
conflicts is also provided.
In this context, every signatory is obliged to accept a number
of photo reconnaissance flights, and at the same time it has the
right to perform an equal number of flights over other
countries. Two or more countries can co-operate in observation
flights.
Countries having ratified the treaty include Belgium, Bulgaria,
Canada, the Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Britain, Georgia,
Italy, Kirgizhstan, Luxembourg, Norway, the Netherlands, Poland,
Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Spain, Turkey, the United States ,
Hungary and Iceland.
Parliament ratified the treaty on March 20, 1993.
Russia, Ukraine and Belarus are expected to follow suit and
ratify to enable the treaty to be fully implemented.
[11] Gov't says no winners, losers surfaced from recent farmers'
protests
Athens, 11/02/1997 (ANA)
There were neither winners or losers after the end of farmers'
protests last week, government spokesman Dimitris Reppas claimed
yesterday in summing up the crisis. Expressing the government's
satisfaction with the end of farmers' mobilizations on Sunday,
he said:
"Everyone won because calm prevailed, and everyone lost because
time was wasted."
He reiterated the government's commitment to dialogue and said
the doors to the prime minister's office were open. However, he
noted that farmers' committees had not made any request for such
a meeting.
In response to charges of damages to farmers' tractors parked
along roadways during the protest, Mr. Reppas said damages could
not have been great, since within a few hours all tractors were
driven off.
Referring to PASOK's agricultural policy, Mr. Reppas said:
"We should let our work speak for us, not we for our work."
On Sunday, protesting farmers decided to call off their latest
round of mobilizations, after having the wind taken out of their
sails on Friday, when police let the air out of tires of some
1,500 tractors parked on national roads in central Greece.
[12] Next round
Athens, 11/02/1997 (ANA)
Protesting farmers' representatives, however, noted that they
would resume protests again in March, on the anniversary of the
Kileler farmers' uprising in 1910.
The decision to call off the second round of protests came after
a rally at the Mikrothives junction in Thessaly, and following
speeches at rallies in major farming towns by members of the
government and ruling PASOK party.
Sources close to the protesting farmers' Pan-Thessaly
Coordinating Committee, which mostly led protests this month,
said farmers had put an end to protests because they were
discouraged by recent developments and lack of coordination.
Small-scale protests continued throughout the weekend although
none came close to disrupting traffic on national roads,
something the government was determined to avoid.
In December, a 25-day blockade of road and rail links virtually
cut the country in two, and caused extensive disruption to
transport networks.
[13] Opposition
Athens, 11/02/1997 (ANA)
On his part, main opposition New Democracy party leader
Miltiades Evert lashed out against the government, saying that
"democracy and society" were the losers from the conflict
between the PASOK government and farmers.
In an interview with the Athens daily "Apogevmatini", Mr. Evert
was quoted as saying that the government lacked calm, at the
same time accusing it of "attempting to turn one social group
against another."
Mr. Evert also accused the government of " slander against
farmers."
Commenting on accusations that ND and the Communist Party of
Greece (KKE) triggered the farmers' protests, Mr. Evert said
that "it is an unfair accusation and a big mistake."
"I will not allow farmers to be surrendered to the communist
party. KKE's proposals conflict with European policy," he added
in the interview.
Meanwhile, the Coalition of the Left and Progress (Synaspismos)
issued an announcement saying that the farmers' protests may
have been suspended, but that the major problems which caused
them had not been solved.
According to the announcement, Synaspismos calls on the
government to give solutions to "certain mature demands of the
farmers."
Synaspismos further stressed the need for the immediate
operation of the agricultural policy council and the
Parliament's interparty committee, with an aim of promoting
specific proposals for the finding of solutions in the next two
months.
[14] Health care reforms unveiled
Athens, 11/02/1997 (ANA)
Health Minister Costas Geitonas said yesterday in Thessaloniki
that a draft bill introducing reforms in the national health
system will be tabled in the Cabinet in the next few days.
Mr. Geitonas described the bill as "realistic," adding that it
complies with the government's pre-election promises regarding
the health care sector.
Earlier in the day, Mr. Geitonas visited various hospitals in
Thessaloniki.
He later stressed the need for immediate measures to improve
both hospital premises and services, at the same time drawing
attention to an existing 95-billion drachma project to
construct, restore and expand hospitals in Macedonia and Thrace.
Health Under-secretary Manolis Skoulakis also announced the
creation of a new detoxification unit.
Thrace and Macedonia Minister Philippos Petsalnikos, who
attended the press conference, told reporters that
health-related issues in northern Greece will be considered by
the Macedonia-Thrace special coordinating council as provided by
the regions draft bill to be voted in Parliament.
According to the bill, the Council will convene every three
months. Mr. Geitonas said a ministry representative will attend
the meetings.
[15] Striking teachers take continuing mobilizations to downtown
Athens
Athens, 11/02/1997 (ANA)
Striking public school teachers caused traffic jams in the
center of Athens yesterday when they marched to the education
ministry.
Protesting teachers' morale appeared to be high as the fourth
week of strike actions began, with strikers enjoying a concert
outside the ministry before marching off to Parliament and then
to the finance ministry.
Meanwhile, Education Under-secretary Yiannis Anthopoulos told
reporters that making up for lost school time by extending the
school year "was an extreme situation", and that there were
other ways to deal with the situation.
"These methods will be discussed with the teachers when their
strike ends and schools reopen," he said.
Asked whether there were any margins for improving teachers'
wages, one of their main demands, Mr. Anthopoulos said if
teachers accepted a proposal put forward by the president of the
teachers' federation, Nikos Tsoulias, then they would see a rise
in total yearly income of between 400,000-900,000 drachmas.
He added that plans to form a committee to examine teachers'
economic demands had also been brought up and that the drafting
of a separate wage scale for teachers may be possible in the
future.
However, the administrative board of OLME, the high school
teachers' union, decided yesterday to propose to a general
assembly meeting today that the strike continue for a fifth week.
A final decision will be taken tomorrow, at a meeting of the
heads of local teacher unions.
Athens, 11/02/1997 (ANA)
In a related development, main opposition New Democracy leader
Miltiades Evert said he was satisfied with the agreement worked
out between the education ministry and primary school teachers,
following a meeting with parents' representatives.
A marathon meeting between Education Minister Gerassimos Arsenis
and primary school teacher representatives on Sunday seemed to
have found a compromise formula that would put an end to the
teachers' two-week strike.
"If there is well-intentioned dialogue, solutions can be found,"
Mr. Evert said in regard to the continuing strike by high school
teachers.
He added that he agreed with parents that teachers could not
return to classrooms "defeated".
[17] Public child-care centers
Athens, 11/02/1997 (ANA)
Meanwhile, workers at state child-care centers have given notice
that they will join colleagues in strike action this month.
An announcement said a 48-hour strike had been called for Feb.
12-13 and a three-day strike for Feb. 19-21. In an announcement,
the Thessaloniki branch of the union said it disagreed with the
recent decision by the health and social security and interior
ministries to put the control of state-run centers under local
government, saying it was "an opening towards the privatization
or even abolition of state child-care centers." Employees will
rally in downtown Thessaloniki on Feb. 8-12.
[18] Papariga criticizes Gov't for 'false promises' to Thrace
residents
Athens, 11/02/1997 (ANA)
Communist Party of Greece (KKE) Secretary General Aleka Papariga
visited the Xanthi region yesterday and criticized the
government for having made what she claimed were "false
promises" to the area's voters in the pre-election period.
"For years the residents of Xanthi have been hearing false
promises and overblown words on the eves of elections or from
government delegations which visit the region," she said,
calling on residents to fight for "what the government owes
them."
Ms Papariga said that for years, the wider region has been in
the "United States' zone of interest" with the consent of the
Greek government, adding that at present the Balkans are being
tried by a new cycle of interventions, "the destabilizing
efforts of the US, which wants - after Dayton - to directly
control the internal developments of Bulgaria, Serbia and so on."
The KKE secretary general said declarations of equality are not
enough, adding that "brave measures must be taken in Xanthi
villages, which are inhabited by the Muslim minority, mainly in
the education sector."
[19] Venizelos, Laliotis meet on Athens archaeological park
Athens, 11/02/1997 (ANA)
Culture Minister Evangelos Venizelos and Environment, Town
Planning and Public Works Minister Costas Laliotis held a
meeting yesterday to consider the fastest and most effective way
to coordinate a program to unify all archeological sites in
central Athens.
The program, inspired by late culture minister Melina Mercouri,
will integrate some 7,000 stremmata of archeological sites, and
works have already started in the neighborhoods of Plaka,
Keramikos and Psirris.
"It is our duty to finish it," Mr. Laliotis said.
Commenting on delays in the operation of a company which has
been established in order to implement the program, Mr. Laliotis
said there have been concerns over the company's operation.
The culture minister said that interventions in the
archeological sites in central Athens "is a composite issue
which is associated with other cultural interventions such as
the Acropolis Museum, the Athens Conservatory and the National
Museum of Modern Art."
[20] State film award winners announced
Athens, 11/02/1997 (ANA)
Winners of the 1996 state film awards were announced yesterday
by Culture Minister Evangelos Venizelos after a selection
process by the Cinema Advisory Council and the Thessaloniki film
critics' committee.

[21] EU reports 45,000 deaths, 1.5 million injuries from road
accidents per year
Brussels, 11/02/1997 (ANA - F. Stangos)
Drivers in Greece run three times the risk of losing their life
in a traffic accident than drivers in Belgium, and seven times
the risk than drivers in Britain.
Based on recent figures, the European Union is facing up to the
grim reality of 45,000 deaths and 1.5 million injuries from road
accidents every year, which is also translated into
socio-economic costs of ECU 162 billion.
The figure, double the EU's annual fiscal budget, calls for a
common handling of the problem by all European Union partners,
and the European Council for Safety and Transport (ETSC) has
proposed a "strategic plan for EU road safety" with the aim of
decreasing casualties to 25,000 by the year 2010.
The plan provides for establishment of various road
safety-related information systems as well as a series of
measures.
[22] Transport ministry's priorities discussed
Athens, 11/02/1997 (ANA)
The transport ministry's secretary general yesterday referred to
the basic priorities of the ministry's policies and to the
importance of the major projects currently underway.
Speaking during a speech at the seventh conference of the Greek
Chamber of Commerce's transport council, secretary general P.
Benetatos referred to Greece's advantageous position as a
junction for transportation in the eastern Mediterranean, the
Balkans and the Black Sea region.
He also underlined the necessity for the Egnatia Highway and the
road linking Patra, Athens, Thessaloniki and the Evzones border
post to be completed as soon as possible.
The president of the transport council and of the Piraeus
Chamber of Commerce and Industry, G. Kasimatis, spoke of the
necessity to accelerate the pace of projects under construction
for the improvement of Greece's transportation network.
He also stressed that the country could play a leading role in
the transport network as new markets are opening up in the east.
[23] Research reveals improvement of women's position in the workplace
Athens, 11/02/1997 (ANA)
Research carried out within the framework of the European
Union's "ADEPT" initiative has revealed that the position of
working women in society has improved, both in the percentage of
working women - now exceeding 50 per cent - and in their
educational le vel, with a greater number of women than men
holding higher education degrees.
Research on the workforce's adaptation to industrial change was
carried out on chemical, paper, plastics, tobacco and wood
industries in Macedonia and Thrace.
According to the research, specializations in which employers
will be most interested in over the next five years will be
computing, management and business administration.
[24] Conference on EU's 'Employment' program held
Athens, 11/02/1997 (ANA)
The labor ministry and the National Labor Institute organized a
conference yesterday for businesses, organizations, chambers of
commerce and other interested parties who wished to participate

equal employment opportunities for women, the improvement of
employment prospects for people with special needs and
vulnerable social groups in general.
[25] OA, Hertz offers special fly-drive deal
Athens, 11/02/1997 (ANA)
Olympic Airways (OA) has signed a deal with Hertz rent-a-car to

Athens, 11/02/1997 (ANA)
A draft agreement was signed yesterday on the accession of the
Macedonia-Thrace Bank to the financial intermediates network of
the European Union's "JOP PHARE-TACIS" program.
