News in English, of 04/06/1996

TITLES

  • A meeting of the Greek and Turkish foreign ministers is called off.
  • Andreas Papandreou's television appearance.
  • And, the Cypriot election results.

PANGALOS

Greece decided this week not to let its foreign minister meet with his Turkish counterpart in Berlin next Monday.

Relations between Greece and Turkey took a turn for the worse in January, when Turkey claimed the Greek island of Imia in the Aegean, staged a military build-up around the island, and boldly landed troops on one of the Imia rocks.

Greece has said the road to better bi-lateral relations runs through Turkey changing its behaviour.

MEDIA

Greek-Turkish relations were the topic of discussion at a forum entitled "Foreign policy and the Media". The conference was held by a Greek newspaper and a Greek TV station in Athens.

Delegates to the conference, some of whom were Greek and Turkish politicians, mainly focussed on the the media's coverage of and approach to the Imia crisis sparked by Turkey in the Aegean in January.

PAPANDREOU

This week, Pasok president Andreas Papandreou made his first television appearance since leaving an Athens hospital several months ago.

Mr Papandreou met with Pasok MPs Wednesday night. He has had other political meetings in recent weeks, but only photographs were released following those contacts.

PAPANDREOU HEALTH

Andreas Papandreou, Pasok's founder and leader, is still seen as the symbol of party unity. But his political future depends on biology: how well he recovers from the pneumonia and kidney failure that hospitalised him last winter.

Antenna tried to piece together the answer to the questions surrounding Mr Papandreou's health and his state of mind, through discussions with his doctors and people close to him.

CYPRUS

Cypriot president Glavcos Clirides was the winner of Cyprus's elections. "Democratic Alarm", his party, captured just over a third of the votes in last Sunday's balloting, more than any other party.

The government coalition of "Democratic Alarm" and the "Democratic Party", or Diko, pulled in over 50 per cent of the vote.
