| | Athens Polytechnic uprising - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Taxiarkhos Dimitrios Ioannides, a disgruntled Junta hardliner, used the uprising as a pretext to reestablish "law and order," and staged a counter-coup that overthrew George Papadopoulos and Spiros Markezinis on November 25 the same year. |
 | | Military law was reinstated, and the new Junta appointed General Phaedon Gkizikis as President and economist Adamantios Androutsopoulos as Prime Minister, although Ioannides remained the behind-the-scenes strongman. |
 | | Ioannides' abortive coup attempt on June 14, 1974 against Archbishop Makarios III, then President of Cyprus, was met by an invasion of Cyprus by Turkey. |
