		Observers say Diko has historically taken a hard line on the peace process, and that Mr Papadopoulos has tried to allay fears that he should not be trusted with it and to dispel perceptions about his policies.

	Stravara Mas: Panicos Papadopoulos (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		The article in question claims that Tassos Papadopoulos is in a panic because of the massive 76% NO vote in the Annan referendum of 2004 and is now becoming the most fervent and committed supporter of YES to secure AKEL's support for the 2008 presidential elections.
		Clever Giorgos and his boss Tassos were, of course, killing two birds with one stone: distancing themselves from the NO-voting public's perception of the Government's obligations, and defaming a confirmed YESsie at the same time.
		Simply, Tassos Papadopoulos is applying the Byzantine-style politics he learned at the knee of his political daddy, the late Archbishop Makarios III.

	Eyes on Greek Cypriot election - Turkish Daily News May 21, 2006
		Papadopoulos has shrugged off international complaints and sought to capitalize on the result of the 2004 referendum throughout the parliamentary campaign, and pundits say he'd have been foolish not to.
		As a young man Papadopoulos was a key member of the political wing of the EOKA guerrilla group, which fought to end British rule and carried out armed attacks against Turkish Cypriots, aiming at annexing Cyprus to Greece.
		Papadopoulos, under the wing of his mentor, Archbishop Makarios, who was president from independence in 1960 until his death in 1977 and who pushed for unity with Greece, joined its first government at the age of 24, becoming the island's youngest ever minister.

		This being the case, Papadopoulo's victory is unlikely to make a difference in settlement negotiations unless there is a major change of policy on the Turkish side.
		Papadopoulos, who heads the centre-right Democratic Party, won with the backing of the powerful Communist Akel Party -- which enjoys the support of 33 per cent of Greek Cypriots -- the small Socialist Party and the Greens.
		Papadopoulo's victory means Clerides will not be able to sign a reunification deal before the 28 February UN deadline when he leaves office.

	Mr. No, No! - Turkish Daily News May 16, 2005
		Living up to his reputation a for lack of communication skills, Papadopoulos, when asked whether it were true that he is sending an envoy to New York, replied in his characteristic manner: “We have agreed with the secretary-general that all actions relating to the preparation of the talks will not become public.
		Since the rejection of the Annan plan by the Greek Cypriots, Papadopoulos, labeled the “unwilling” partner, has been refusing to give in on anything, whether it be approving the release of funds for the Turkish Cypriots or approving direct trade between the Turkish Cypriots with the EU.
		According to information, Papadopoulos and his rejectionist friends will pursue a policy of procrastination in order to make Turkey sign the Ankara Agreement by Oct. 3 and then will try for the new negotiating framework of a central strong authority in which, of course, the Greek Cypriot side would have the upper hand.
