Ministry of Foreign Affairs announcement on 19th anniversary of the passing of Giannos Kranidiotis

Today, nineteen years after the tragic loss of Giannos Kranidiotis, we honour the memory of a distinguished diplomat, politician, and academic. A beloved politician whose contribution and work were of critical importance to the Greek people. The legacy of the late Giannos remains alive even today. A leading proponent for forging Cyprus’ European perspective, with his initiatives as well as his methodical and tireless efforts, he sealed the Republic of Cyprus’ accession to the European Union. At the present critical junction for the Cyprus issue, faithful to Giannos Kranidiotis’ vision for a reunited Cyprus, we remain committed to the need for reaching a just and viable solution on the basis of the UN resolutions. A decision that will free Cyprus of occupying forces and “rights” of intervention.

Statements of Minister of Foreign Affairs Nikos Kotzias on arriving at the Holy Monastery of Kykkos and following his meeting with the Most Reverend Metropolitan of Kykkos, Nikiphoros, and the signing of the agreement granting a plot of land to the Greek

N. KOTZIAS: I am very pleased that, thanks to the Monastery and the wisdom of its abbot, we will be able to build a beautiful Greek Embassy and Ambassadorial residence. I am very pleased that, thanks to the Monastery, the Greek flag will wave in the centre of Nicosia. REPORTER: We have difficult battles ahead of us, Mr. Minister. N. KOTZIAS: Now we have a good battle ahead of us. Thank you. Statements following the signing of the agreement granting a plot of land to the Greek state N. KOTZIAS: I am pleased and excited for our relations and representation here in Cyprus. And this is due to you; you are our starting point. Our concern is to resolve the Cyprus problem – but to resolve it in a just and creative way that benefits the Cypriot people rather than third parties. REPORTER: Do you feel there are indications in that direction, Mr. Minister, given that you have spoken with Mr. ÇavuÅŸoÄŸlu once or twice recently? N. KOTZIAS: Indications don't come into existence on their own. We need to create them. But on problems like the Cyprus issue, it does not suffice for only us to create. The other sides participating in the process for resolving the Cyprus issue have to do the same. REPORTER: Have you made any preparations on this with Mr. ÇavuÅŸoÄŸlu? N. KOTZIAS: In 2016 I stressed the need for proper preparation so we could explore whether there really can be an agreement, because I don’t think it is productive for us to go to negotiations that lead to an impasse or to referenda that don’t respond positively to the proposals that are made. From this standpoint, I hope the discussion we had in Izmir with Mr. ÇavuÅŸoÄŸlu – that we will try to see if there can be convergence, I’m not saying a solution, before we begin the process of direct negotiations – was in a better spirit than in the past on the part of the other side. But that’s why I can’t give you a guarantee. I can guarantee that we will strive for a solution. REPORTER: But does Turkey agree to come to a dialogue that will explore precisely these ... N. KOTZIAS: We create developments, we don’t prophesie. Otherwise I would be a saint. REPORTER: Has anything happened since the failure in Crans Montana? How do you see things? N. KOTZIAS: I wouldn’t call Crans Montana a failure, because, in my assessment, for the first time, following a round of negotiations on the Cyprus problem, we are going to the next round with a better position than in the previous round. On the Cyprus problem, each round of negotiations was usually worse than the one before. Now we have the issue of guarantees and security on the table. The UN Secretary-General has accepted it. He adopted it during the Crans Montana talks, so we are in a better position than we previously were; we are on a creative course. REPORTER: And today, here in Metochi with His Most Reverend, is this little adventure ending in the best possible way? N. KOTZIAS: I think today we are gaining strength, inspiration to work with greater faith towards the solution of the Cyprus problem. This is the essence of today’s meeting, this is the essence of the small gifts we exchanged – important gifts to me. This is the essence of the great gift given to us: the plot of land on which the Greek Embassy will be built. Our dream is not just to see a beautiful, functional and productive Greek Embassy. Our dream is for this Embassy to be in a free, unified Cyprus. REPORTER: Mr. Minister, things are constantly changing in this region. Yesterday you visited Israel and met with Mr. Netanyahu ... N. KOTZIAS: As I often say, politics is bitter, but never boring. REPORTER: Mr. Minister, regarding the developments in the Skopje issue and Mr. Zaev’s speech yesterday in the European Parliament ... N. KOTZIAS: This is not the time or place to discuss other matters. In Cyprus I talk about the Cyprus issue, because I often criticize Greek politicians and public figures who talk about everything on the international stage except Cyprus and its liberation.

Francis Fukuyama: ‘Trump instinctively picks racial themes to drive people on the left crazy’

In 1989, the economist’s essay The End of History? asked whether liberalism had triumphed over ideology. History, however, had other ideas and his new book responds to the return of extremism Every “thought-leader” needs a catchy leading thought. Francis Fukuyama made his name and fortune with the definitive “one-liner” political meme The End of History?_,_ which in the early 1990s seemed a smart way of describing the collapse of communism, and the “triumph” of the west. Since then, in the years in which history has clearly refused to end, Fukuyama, a senior fellow at Stanford University, has had various stabs at repeating that initial success. His new book, _Identity_, proposes the term “thymos” as the key to understanding our unnerving political moment. “Thymos” (it does no harm, for credibility or book sales if the crucial thought-leading term is best understood by Ancient Greeks) comes from Plato’s Republic.It represents a kind of third way for a soul instinctively divided into two competing impulses – reason and appetite – by Socrates. If the former of those two made us human and the latter kept us animal, thymos fell somewhere in between. Most translations of _The Republic_ suggest its sense for Plato as “passion”. For his purposes, Fukuyama takes it to mean “the seat of judgements of worth”, a kind of eternal status thermostat. Continue reading...
