Criticised by both friends and enemies, Greece faces charges of betrayal and incompetence over its dealings with the PKK leader now in Turkish hands. Greek officials had been sheltering Abdullah Ocalan, the rebel Kurdish leader, at the Greek ambassador's residence in Nairobi, but "lost" him in still unexplained circumstances as he was driven to the airport in the Kenyan capital. During an emergency debate in parliament, deputies from the governing socialist Pasok party called for the resignation of their own Foreign Minister, Theodoros Pangalos.

"This is the most humiliating moment in Greece's history," one Pasok deputy told Greek television.

Country-by-Country Reports GREECE (TIER 2 - WATCH LIST) [Extracted from U.S. State Dept Trafficking in Persons Report, June 2005] Greece is a destination country for women, men, and children trafficked for the purposes of sexual exploitation and forced labor. Most victims come from Eastern Europe and the Balkans, some transit to other EU countries. Although the number of identified Roma and Albanian child victims decreased, they continued to be trafficked for commercial sexual exploitation and forced labor. Various sources noted a possible new trend of African women trafficked for the purposes of sexual exploitation. Prosecution In 2004, the Greek Government showed limited progress in the enforcement of its anti-trafficking laws. The government conducted a number of anti-trafficking raids, charged 352 perpetrators, and successfully dismantled several criminal rings operating in Greece. During 2004, the government appointed two special anti-trafficking prosecutors and reported 94 prosecutions under the 2002 anti-trafficking law. Conviction rates, however, remained disproportionally low - the government reported a few convictions during the year. Notably, the courts handed down significant sentences in many of those cases and convicted the first traffickers under the government's 2002 law. Some local police continued to participate in and facilitate trafficking. In 2004, the government took some punitive action against police complicity in trafficking. Protection Prevention

Reaction to the 1955 London Conference The conference convened by Harold MacMillan to deal with the mounting problems in Cyprus might actually have caused more difficulties, not only for Britain, but for all the parties involved. Here, journalist and historian Nancy Crawshaw explains the reaction in the region itself in The Cyprus Revolt: An Account of the Struggle for Union with Greece. Kathimerini , the influential Athenian newspaper, which usually supported the Papagos Government, urged that the presence of Greece at the talks should be contingent on a prior settlement over self-determination. The Athens branch of the Ethnarchy pressed the Greek Government to go ahead with its appeal to the UN on the grounds that it could easily be withdrawn should the outcome of the London conference prove satisfactory to the Greek Cypriots. The British Government's delay in fixing the date, the final decision to hold the conference as late as 29 August confirmed Greek and Cypriot suspicions that the main objective of the British move was to frustrate the Greek appeal to the UN.' The Archbishop's speech opened on an optimistic note: The wind of freedom blows forcefully from distant Asia to neighbouring Africa, overturning and sweeping away everywhere the effigies of slavery.

The Greek government has banned all electronic games across the country, including those that run on home computers, on GameBoy-style portable consoles, and on mobile phones. Thousands of tourists in Greece are unknowingly facing heavy fines or long terms in prison for owning mobile phones or portable video games. Greek Law Number 3037, enacted at the end of July, explicitly forbids electronic games with "electronic mechanisms and software" from public and private places, and people have already been fined tens of thousands of dollars for playing or owning games. The law applies equally to visitors from abroad: "If you know these things are banned, you should not bring them in," said a commercial attaché at the Greek Embassy in London, who declined to give her name.

By Vassilis Vassiliou for Southeast European Times in Athens – 25/04/05 More than five groups have submitted bids to buy Olympic Airlines, which has been struggling financially for years. [OA] Facing serious budgetary problems, the Greek government is looking for new ways to boost revenues, including through privatisation of state-owned concerns. Earlier this month, the Interministerial Committee for Privatisation decided to speed up the process of denationalisation for six public organisations. Economy and Finance Minister George Alogoskoufis, Development Minister Dimitris Sioufas and Employment and Social Service Minister Panos Panagiotopoulos have outlined the priorities of the project, which is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2005. First on the list is Olympic Airlines, which is expected to be sold in the next month. The national carrier has been in dire financial straits for many years, and the last attempt to sell it proved fruitless. However, this time more than five groups have submitted bids, and the airline could soon be changing hands. The Post Savings Bank will come up for public offering on the Athens Stock Market by October. The government is also considering the sale of 25 per cent of the Athens International Airport. The airport was voted best in Europe and second best in the world in a survey conducted by the International Air Transport Association in 2003. The most likely buyer is Hochtief, the German company that participated in the consortium that built the airport. Negotiations are scheduled for autumn.

Religious Freedom World Report Prepared by the International Coalition for Religious Freedom document.write(" Updated: "); document.write(document.lastModified); Greece A 1995 poll conducted by the European Commission found that Greeks are the most religious of all European Union members. Since 98 percent of the people are of the Greek Orthodox faith, the result is that this church exerts a pervasive influence in public life, education and social policy. Unrecognized Slavic minorities, particularly "Macedonians" or "Slavomacedonians," face a similar difficulty. Priests operating outside of the Greek Orthodox Church may be prosecuted for "pretense of authority." The 1996 State Department Report on Human Rights notes that the language of a May 1996 ruling by the court of appeals overturning the conviction of one priest has been construed by human rights activists as implying recognition of the Macedonian Orthodox Church. A permit request for the opening of a Macedonian Orthodox Church is currently pending the decision of the government. In 1997, the Greek Parliament passed two new laws concerning taxes on religious groups, one relating to "the abolition of tax exemptions," and the second concerning "large real estate holdings." These laws created new taxes pertaining to property and income of institutions such as schools and hospitals which had previously been tax-exempt. Roman Catholic and Jewish leaders have filed protest to these laws within the European community and have expressed their concern to officials of the US government.

GOVERNORS DEMAND GREECE ACT AGAINST TERRORISM HON. LAWRENCE J. SMITH (Extension of Remarks - May 04, 1989) [Page: E1545] HON. LAWRENCE J. SMITH in the House of Representatives THURSDAY, MAY 4, 1989 Mr. SMITH of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I want to commend Governor Neil Goldschmidt of Oregon for his leadership in seeking the support of his fellow governors in a letter to the President to encourage a strong United States policy on the issue of Greece's response to terrorism. Ten other State chief executives joined Governor Goldschmidt in writing to President Bush on this urgent issue. Last year, I sponsored a resolution, House Concurrent Resolution 14, joined by many of my colleagues on the Foreign Affairs Committee, demanding that Greece bring to justice alleged terrorists in official custody. In recent months, the Government of Greece has failed to meet its responsibilities to help combat terrorism. Last December, Greece released to Libya Abdel Osama el-Zomar, a member of the Abu Nidal Organization, the most dangerous terrorist cell in operation today. El-Zomar is wanted for the attack on a synagogue in Italy in which a 2-year-old boy was killed, and 37 others wounded. The Greek Minister of Justice, Vassilis Rotis, stated that the release of el-Zomar was justified because his actions, and I quote, `Fall within the domain of the struggle to regain the independence of his homeland.' Mr. Speaker, no national liberation movement can be built on the murder of children in a house of worship. Last June, the Greek Government arrested Mohammed Rashid, who is suspected of the 1982 bombing of a Pan American airliner in which 5 people were killed. He is also suspected of involvement in a 1986 terror bombing of a TWA aircraft en route from Rome to Athens. Subsequent to his arrest, the United States asked for Rashid's extradition Greece's Supreme Court has decided that the extradition request urgently sought by the United States can be granted by the Government. In an effort to mortally intimidate the Supreme Court, leftwing urban guerrillas assassinated 2 state prosecutors, and murdered a thirdfrightening the judiciary and causing 2 Supreme Court justices to resign. In the past, the Papandreou government has been extremely tolerant of terrorists operating in and out of Greece so long as Greek interests were immune from terrorist attack. The murderous assault on the Greek judicial system demonstrates the cravenness and moral baselessness of such a policy.

PRESIDENT HARRY S. TRUMAN'S ADDRESS TO A JOINT SESSION OF CONGRESS MARCH 12, 1947 President Harry S. Truman Mr. President, Mr. Speaker, Members of the Congress of the United States: The gravity of the situation which confronts the world today necessitates my appearance before a joint session of the Congress. The foreign policy and the national security of this country are involved. One aspect of the present situation, which I wish to present to you at this time for your consideration and decision, concerns Greece and Turkey. The United States has received from the Greek Government an urgent appeal for financial and economic assistance. Preliminary reports from the American Economic Mission now in Greece and reports from the American Ambassador in Greece corroborate the statement of the Greek Government that assistance is imperative if Greece is to survive as a free nation. I do not believe that the American people and the Congress wish to turn a deaf ear to the appeal of the Greek Government. Greece is not a rich country. Lack of sufficient natural resources has always forced the Greek people to work hard to make both ends meet. Since 1940, this industrious and peace loving country has suffered invasion, four years of cruel enemy occupation, and bitter internal strife.
