 Caramanlis Speaks Out - TIME
In Paris, Constantine Mitsotakis, whose liberal Center Union Party had long opposed Caramanlis' conservative National Radical Union, declared that the former Premier was the only man with the prestige and widespread support needed to oust the colonels.
A Minister of Communications and Public Works when King Paul picked him as Premier after the death of Field Marshal Alexander Papagos in 1955, Caramanlis was primarily responsible for Greece's recovery from the aftereffects of the Nazi occupation and the 1946-49 civil war and for her rapid economic development.
Some Western observers are doubtful that Caramanlis, after so many years in exile, has the political muscle to instigate a change, though he is known to have broad backing among the military.

Traditionally, Greek names were Romanised in spelling (thus, Sophoklis became Sophocles and Aiskhylos became Aeschylus), and also Anglicised in form (thus, Georgios became George and Alexandros became Alexander).

Recently there has been a increasing tendency to use the Greek forms, but there is no consistency (Andreas Papandreou, for example, is never called Andrew Papandreou, but George Papandreou is never called Giorgios Papandreou).

ATHENS, Greece -- Constantine Caramanlis, Greece's most revered statesman who led the country out of postwar ruin and military dictatorship and cemented ties with Europe, died Thursday.
His health had been in decline since he retired in 1995 after his second term as president, ending a 60-year political career that included a record six premierships.
Caramanlis' stamp on Greece encompassed many of the nation's defining moments this century: the rise and fall of the monarchy; the Nazi occupation in World War II and the civil war that followed; the 1967-74 military junta and, finally, Greece's recognition as a Western European ally.

 News about Cyprus - Turkey - 06-07-18
His blunt statement was interpreted as a clear confirmation of reports that he and Greek Prime Minister Costas Caramanlis did not see fully eye-to-eye during their talks, particularly in connection with the adoption of a joint policy on Turkey's path toward EU accession.
It was indicative that during their joint press conference, at the end of their prolonged meeting on Monday, the two leaders stated separately that they had examined all options in connection with this.
The basic difference appeared to be on the one hand Greece's reluctance to pressure Turkey, out of concern this might exacerbate their relations and increase tension, and Papadopoulos' reluctance to rule out resort to a veto to force Turkey to meet its obligations to the EU by implementing the ports and airports directive.
