U.S. DEPARTMENT OF STATE
DAILY PRESS BRIEFING
DPB #145
TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1995, 12:51 P.M.
(ON THE RECORD UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED)
[...]
Q It was reported extensively in a Greek daily newspaper in
Athens that the Department of State most recently prepared a special
report suggesting former kings should return to power in some European
countries. The mentioned report, inter alia, makes also the same
suggestion for the return to Greece of the so-called former king, Mr.
Constantine Glyxburg, and particularly his son, Mr. Paul Glyxburg.
I focus my question, Mr. Spokesman, on Mr. Constantine Glyxburg who
is unemployed and gets financial support from the German Council
Institute of Hanover, Germany. I'm wondering, are you aware of such a
report, and could you please comment on that?
MR. DINGER: My understanding is that this is a report in a Greek
newspaper saying that the U.S. Government supports the return of kings
to Europe, and specifically King Constantine. I have not seen that
report. But from the contents that you relay, I would dismiss it out of
hand; no truth to it whatsoever.
Q (Inaudible)
MR. DINGER: Nothing. Preposterous. Dismiss it out of hand.
