[01] PM Karamanlis warns Turkey to respect 2001 readmission agreement

Karamanlis also underlined Turkey's commitments on the issue of Cyprus, calling on it "to contribute in practice to a workable and viable solution, in the framework of UN resolutions," while on the question of Turkey's course to Europe, the prime minister said that his government's policy is condensed in four words: "Full compliance-full accession."

He further said that "these few words determine with frankness our position. And something more: The status quo in the Aegean does not change and will not change neither with infringements and violations nor with whatever other provocations. Concessions on our sovereign rights are inconceivable. We will not back down and we will grant nothing."

Referring, furthermore, to the "energy pipeline policy," the prime minister said that it is taking on the dimensions of a national issue and spoke of a policy which "we laid the foundations for with boldness and systematic effort. We achieved international energy agreements with huge (strategic, political and economic) benefits for our country."

Karamanlis added that these agreements "include our country on the global energy map, they contribute to the upgrading of our relations with Russia and the neighbouring countries and bring investments, permanent revenues, new jobs."

The prime minister said that two of these agreements are considerable achievements for the Evros prefecture, that is the Turkey-Greece-Italy natural gas pipeline and the Burgas-Alexandroupoli oil pipeline and, addressing the citizens of Evros, he noted that "for this pipeline, we assumed before you explicit and clear commitments: firstly, that the project will take place with the participation of the local authorities, the production and social forces of the region. Secondly, that it will be constructed and operated with absolute respect for the environment. Thirdly, that the annual transit revenues, about 35 million dollars a year will remain, in their entirety, here, in Thrace. A part of them will be going to the prefectures of Rodopi and Xanthi. Most, however, will be provided in your prefecture."

Karamanlis, referring as he said to the allegations of the main opposition PASOK party leader about the agreement "that, supposedly, it only secures the interests of the Russian side," termed them absolutely aribitrary and added that "disputing (the agreement) harms the policy that places the interest of Greece above all. Whoever may be bothered. For this reason, the stance of the leader of PASOK is inconceivable and he owes all the citizens explicit answers."

The prime minister termed the economy "the most pressing, the most urgent national issue" and added that "90 percent of the increase in the debt is due to interest and the expenditures for armaments that were left by the governments of PASOK. Therefore, they are wasting their time if they are looking for accomplices. They are not accusers. They are the accused."

[02] PASOK leader arrives in New York

The PASOK leader is also sheduled to hold several meetings with foreign dignitaries during his stay in New York.

[03] KKE leader addresses rally in Peristeri

"On Sunday night the capitalists must feel from a shiver to panic over the increase in KKE's election percentage," Papariga said.

Papariga called for backing for KKE because "it is the only party that tells the people the truth, namely that either it will be with the monopolies or with the people, that the working classes will have to decide either for better days or find themselves with their backs against the wall."

[04] KKE leader visits shipbuilding zone

Papariga warned of the danger of a local shipyard's privatisation.

Additionally, she charged that PASOK leader George Papandreou is being supported by large companies that believe his is capable of "misleading, deceiving and manipulating the people," adding that PASOK will continue the government's work.

[05] Tsipras addresses rally in Halkida

Tsipras said that "the day after the elections will find us stronger, more effective and, of course, more mature" for new struggles," while expressing concern over the increase in unemployment.

The Coalition leader also said that we are not merely experiencing the failure of the government of the New Democracy party, we are experiencing the failure of an economic model, of an entire economic policy and philosophy.

[06] EcoGreens present policy platform

The party's platform underlined a target to create 100,000 'green' jobs and noted that "in conditions of austerity, we become doubly poor if the quality of our life depends chiefly on our purchasing power".

In addition to outlining the party's environmental policy, the EcoGreens referred to the goal of creating an open society without exclusions and discrimination, stressing that the "lack of rights for immigrants seriously harms Greeks".

The declaration ends with an appeal to voters not "to give another blank cheque" to one of the large parties.

"We ask citizens for a vote of conscience in favour of the Ecologists-Greens, a vote that links their concern for the environment with immediate solutions for the economy, quality of life, rights and extending democracy," said party spokesman Nikos Chrysogelos.

[07] Cross-party Elections Committee met focusing on procedural issues

Flogaitis stated afterwards that the meeting focused on issues concerning the voting process.

The first meeting of the Cross-party Elections Committee had taken place two weeks ago with the participation of six of the political parties - namely, New Democracy (ND), PASOK, the Communist Party of Greece (KKE), SYRIZA, Popular Orthodox Rally (LAOS) and Ecologist Greens that also attended Wednesday's meeting.

[08] Bomb targets PASOK official's apartment, no injuries

The bomb, which exploded at 11:42 a.m., had been placed in the entrance hallway of the fourth floor of the apartment building in which the couple lives on Tsakalof street in the posh Athens district of Kolonaki.

Twenty minutes earlier, at 11:22 a.m., an unidentified caller placed two calls, to Eleftherotypia newspaper and ALTER private radio station, warning of the bomb, which he said would explode at Katseli's office on Tsakalof street.

A police counter-terrororism squad crew and bomb disposal experts investigating the incident were at the scene of the explosion.

[09] Ministry official objects to German criticism over asylum issues

"Instead of criticising from the sidelines, Germany could accept on its territory a number of immigrants that have illegally entered Greece and examine their applications for asylum there," he said.

Bitsios was replying to comments attributed to Schauble in a report by the German newspaper Frankfurther Allgemeine Zeitung, in which he is reported to ask whether Greece had understood the problem of illegal migration.

"If the Dublin II regulation had not been adopted - through which Germany conveniently solved its own problem at our expense - Greece would be able to handle the issue much more efficiently," Bitsios added. He was referring to regulations in Dublin II for the return of illegal immigrants found anywhere within the European Union to the country where their entry is first recorded.

A large number of such migrants are thus necessarily deported back to Greece, which comprises the EU's external border in the Eastern Mediterranean and is thus one of the main points of entry to the EU for illegal migrants originating from Asia and eastern Europe.

"It would be best, therefore, if instead of cost-free displays of humanitarianism, Germany actively contributed to formulating a uniform European policy on the issue of illegal migration and asylum," Bitsios said.

[10] Communist parties urge Irish to reject Lisbon Treaty

The joint appeal, issued in view of the Oct. 2 referendum on the Lisbon Treaty, also calls on EU states to display active solidarity to the people of Ireland.

[11] Turkish ambassador in Hania

Celikkol said Turkish tourists already visit the large island of Crete every year, while he expressed a hope that commerce ties and greater tourism exchanges will take place in the coming year.

"The last time I visited Crete was 10 years ago and I thank the mayor for his time" he said.

Hania Mayor Kyriakos Virvidakis said talks focused on facilitating an increase in tourism, particularly from Turkey to Crete.

The Turkish envoy later visited the Eleftherios Venizelos Foundation.

[19] Interview: CGES exec supports switch to nuclear power by Greece

"Nuclear energy is a solution, especially for Greece," said Drollas, pointing out the various advantages favouring its use in Greece.

"We have many uninhabited islands. Ones that are relatively large and possess all the advantages for the construction of a plant, since there is plentiful sea water to cool the reactors and, at the same time, they are far from inhabited areas," Drollas said.

In addition, Drollas pointed out, using nuclear energy will enhance energy security for the country and assist efforts to reduce carbon dioxide emissions - a possible aspect of nuclear power that had already been touched on in a press release issued by the Public Power Corporation on July 17 regarding its investment programme, which had cited nuclear power as an alternative source of energy if carbon-based fuels were ruled out for environmental reasons.

"Only natural gas is an immediate, easy solution but it has another problem: the country's dependence increases because the natural gas to Europe comes chiefly from Russia. This presents a strategic problem," Drollas asserted, pointing out that this made Europe vulnerable if Russia decided to form a cartel with Qatar and Iran in the future.

The CGES executive said that such problems would not arise with nuclear fuels, citing a recent report issued by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development for Europe (OECD), which said that using nuclear power would not jeopardise energy security since there were many largely politically stable countries that produced uranium.

Regarding the use of renewable energy sources, Drollas expressed the opinion that they might constitute a long-term solution but that consumers were not ready to face the increased cost of renewable energy sources.

"The photovoltaics industry is not yet ready to bring to market units that are cheap enough for there to be a return on investment within a reasonable space of time. If the return occurs in 30 years, who will install photovoltaics in their home, investing 20,000 euros for an entire house? Sucb things need subsidies. What governments today have the sums to give such subsidies," Drollas asked.

He also said that wind energy compared unfavourably to nuclear energy in terms of efficiency, with wind turbines working at 30 percent of capacity to a nuclear power plant's 93 percent. "In France, for example, which has many nuclear power plants, to produce 1GW electricity you would need to have a wind turbine at 100-metre intervals along all the entire French coastline on both the Atlantic and the Mediterranean," he said.

Dr. Drollas went on to say that the public's fears regarding nuclear wastes were exaggerated because people were unaware of recent scientific progress that had made only a few such wastes radioactive. While conceding that there was a still a measurable risk from the use of nuclear power, he argued that this was far outweighed by the benefits.

[20] Ancient Pelinna opens to visitors

The 34th Ephorate of Prehistoric and Classical Antiquities will feature guided tours of the site on Friday, destined chiefly for schools, including an educational program for primary and secondary school pupils, in observation of the annual European Cultural Heritage Days, which will be held on September 25-27, under the theme "Magic through the Ages", involving visits to museums, monyments and archaeological sites in 50 points throughout Greece.

The project initially aims to clean and display the ancient wall on the site and calculate its course, while it ultimately plans to create an archaeological park with various educational, recreational and sports facilities centred around the ancient site.

Ancient Pelina, or Pelinnaion, was situated on the left bank of the Pineios River in western Thessaly, between Trikki and Farkadona. The first ancient reference to the city that survives was in Pindar, who cited it as the home of the athlete Ippocles, who won a race in the Pythian Games held in 498 B.C. Ancient accounts and architectural remains yield information about the city mostly during and after the 4th century B.C.

During the road works for widening of the Trikala-Larissa National Highway section from Farkadona to Megalochori, several shaft tombs of adults and children, with their skeletons, were discovered and recorded. The findings and the results of the excavations were presented at the 8th Symposium of Trikalinon Studies in November 2008) archaeologists Leonidas Chatziaggelakis, head of the Ephorate.

The most important element was the discovery of a semicircular construction, which is likely to have been used as a burial space, as in the outer - convex side had been positioned a child's skull and a second adult skull. Around the area of the skulls the soil had been burned. Aso collected have been mainly mobile findings, such as ceramics and objects of daily use, as well as.

According to the Greek historian and geographer Arrianos, Alexander the Great passed through Pelinnaion with his army in 335 B.C. in his incursion against the Thebans. the Pellina occupants followed the Macedonian army in all its operations up until 191 BC, when the Athamanians, led by Amyander, an aly of Antiochus took over the city, but it was later retaken by M'Acilius in the same year..

According to Chatziaggelakis, Pellinaion was founded by Pelinnos, son of Oechalieas, from the town of Eurytus' town, Oechalia.

[29] Christofias discusses Cyprus and Turkey's EU course with Barroso

The Cyprus question and Turkey's EU accession course were discussed in a meeting here Tuesday between Cyprus President Demetris Christofias and President of the European Commission Jose Manuel Barroso, on the sidelines of a UN meeting on climate change.

According to reliable sources, President Christofias briefed Barroso on the latest developments in the Cyprus issue and the prospects for a solution, as the EU prepares to assess Turkey's accession course in December.

President Christofias also said, during the meeting, that the European Commission can significantly contribute to the efforts for a solution, by taking advantage of Turkey's evaluation and convincing Ankara to change its stance towards Cyprus.

On the sidelines of the UN meeting on climate change, President Christofias had a friendly conversation with French President Nicolas Sarkozy.

President Christofias was to attend on Wednesday the official opening of the 64th session of the UN General Assembly, to be addressed by the UN Secretary General and the Presidents of Brazil and the USA.

President Christofias was to hold a series of bilateral meetings with various heads of state, including Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, the President of Chile Michelle Bachelet, the President of Bosnia Zeljko Komsic, the Lebanese President Michel Sulayman, the Swedish Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt and the President of Croatia Stjepan Mesic.

On Wednesday evening, Christofias was to attend a dinner US President Barak Obama and his wife will host for the foreign leaders.

[30] UNSG optimistic over talks on Cyprus

UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has expressed optimism over talks held between Cyprus President Demetris Christofias and Turkish Cypriot leader Mehmet Ali Talat with a view to solve the Cyprus question, noting that it was "very important for the two sides to seize the momentum now.''

Referring to a meeting held here between Ban and Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Tuesday, a UNSG spokesperson said that ''on Cyprus, the SG said he appreciated Turkey's support to Alexander Downer's efforts and expressed optimism at the talks (42 discussions in the first round), noting that it was 'very important for the two sides to seize the momentum now'.''

The spokesperson also noted that the SG thanked Turkey for its leadership on climate change and expressed his sympathies for the deadly impact of recent floods in Turkey.

The SG welcomed recent steps toward the normalization of relations between Armenia and Turkey, the spokesperson said.

On Afghanistan, the SG indicated that he would consult Turkey shortly on that issue in general. The Middle East peace process and the unresolved humanitarian crisis in Gaza also came up as topics.

Christofias and Talat have been engaged in direct negotiations, under UN auspices, since September 2008. Ban's special adviser on Cyprus

Alexander Downer attends the talks, which aim at finding a mutually acceptable political settlement that will reunite the country under a federal roof, divided since the 1974 Turkish invasion.

[31] Garoyian calls on Downer to keep within limits of his mission

Acting President of the Republic, President of the House of Representatives Marios Garoyian called on the UN Secretary General's Adviser Representative on Cyprus Alexander Downer to keep within the limits of his mission.

Commenting on remarks that UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon had expressed appreciation for Turkey's support towards Downer's efforts and optimism concerning direct talks in Cyprus, Garoyian said an effort is being made ''to pass the message that there is significant progress'' in the talks.

''Our assessment is that there has been minimal progress during the first round of the negotiations due to the Turkish intransigent and arid stance,'' he said, adding that ''in the issues of major importance there has been no shift on behalf of the Turkish side, on the contrary the proposals and recommendations Turkey has been submitting are proposals and recommendations that refer to a confederation and a solution of two states.''

Asked why the UN Secretary General has been expressing optimism, Garoyian said ''there is an intense view and position in certain circles that wish to create this climate,'' noting that ''this is not unusual in negotiations and especially when everyone knows that in December Turkey will pass from an evaluation and examination as to whether or not it has fulfilled its obligations and met is commitments'' towards the EU.

''Some powerful players in the international system want to facilitate Turkey to pass the December assessment unpunished,'' he added.

Garoyian said that ''if they want to see real progress in the Cyprus problem, they will have to turn their attention and pressure to Turkey.''

To questions regarding Downer's role, Garoyian said ''Downer has a specific mandate and must meet the terms of his mission,'' adding that the UN official ''should be careful what he says and does, in order to remain credible.''

''I would like to send a message to Mr. Downer and all those involved and who wish to remain trustworthy, effective and serious. They should make sure they remain within the terms of their mission,'' Garoyian said.

He added that President Christofias has already clarified that ''he does not accept arbitration of any form, either direct or indirect, and he does not accept strict deadlines or reasoning that presents the unlawful as lawful.''

''For this reason, Mr. Downer should remain within the terms of his mission, that is to facilitate the process'' of the talks, Garoyian pointed out.

Cyprus, which joined the EU in 2004, has been divided since 1974, when Turkey invaded and occupied its northern third. President Christofias and Turkish Cypriot leader Mehmet Ali Talat have been engaged in UN-led direct negotiations since September 2008, with an aim to reunite the island.
