In
an article entitled “No to the new Crime!”, Mikis Theodorakis is denouncing the “illegal”, as he characterizes
it, “International Conference on Cyprus”, held those days in Geneva. (1)
The
composer, a world known symbol of the struggles for Freedom and a resistant
himself, against both the Nazi-occupation of Greece and the colonels’ junta, is
characterizing the Geneva Conference as criminal, illegal, contrary to the
European Law and likely to lead to the abolition of the Republic of Cyprus.
For Theodorakis, this illegal Geneva
Conference and the abolition of the Republic of Cyprus currently being
attempted are part of preparations for a new great war against Iran and, behind
that, against Russia. For the purposes of this war it is necessary, he writes,
for the West to have full control of Cyprus, Crete and mainland Greece.

Theodorakis deplores the decision of
the Greek and Cypriot governments to participate in such a conference, in this
way according recognition to the role and say of third countries on Cyprus. At
the same time, in a dramatic personal appeal to Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras, he calls upon him to reflect on the
responsibilities he is undertaking as he is led towards a treacherous action against Cyprus, bringing a national disaster upon
the Greek people.
What
is the Geneva Conference?
The Geneva Conference, which provoked
the anger of a man who constitutes one of the Greek national symbols, is
formally organized by the UN Secretary
General Guterres, but essentially is the achievement of the neocon
former Assistant Secretary of State of the United States Victoria Nuland (the architect of the Ukrainian crisis), with the
willing assistance, as ever, of the European Commission and its president
Juncker and for the purpose of abolishing Democracy in Cyprus and making the
island a colony of the United States, Britain and Israel.
This was all foreshadowed in the
previous draft resolution of the Cyprus problem, the so-called Annan plan,
rejected in a referendum in 2004. That plan provided – as now – for full
equation of the Greek Cypriot majority (82%) and Turkish Cypriot minority
(18%). Because, of course, in all likelihood it would not have been possible to
take any decision, provision was made for appointment by the UN Secretary
General of foreign officials and judges who would govern the state and even
appoint their successors!!!
In view of the international situation
and the forces usually operating and influencing the UN Secretary-General, he
would necessarily appoint only officials and judges enjoying the confidence of
the United States and Britain, and indirectly also of Israel because of the
influence that that state has on American and British diplomacy in the
Mediterranean.
Greek
government spokesman Dimitris
Tzanakopoulos says peace talks in Geneva to solve the Cyprus problem
were making “positive progress” but
crucial issues remained open. Tzanakopoulos said Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras would attend the
talks in Geneva “if there was a prospect for a solution.” (Source: in-cyprus.com)
The reason that the Geneva Conference
is being convened now is the low probability that Cypriot citizens would vote
in favour of such a “solution” in a referendum. In essence the Conference is
usurping the constituent power of the Cypriot people and transferring it to
third countries!!! Because they cannot take the Cypriot state away from its
citizens on the basis of their own vote, they are attempting to do so with the
signatures of the President of Cyprus and the Greek government.
If such a goal is achieved, if Cyprus
will be transformed into a colony of the “Sea Powers”. This would constitute a
colossal strategic victory for the American-British-Israeli neoconservative
“Empire of Chaos”, which is responsible for the wars that have virtually
demolished the Middle East over the last 15 years.
It will also represent a strategic
defeat not only for the Greek people but also, indirectly but clearly, for the
most vital interests of Russia in Europe and the Middle East, as well as for
the prospect of a democratic and independent Europe.
The EU will be taking another momentous
step towards conversion into a totalitarian structure, with the transformation
of a second member-state, after Greece, into a protectorate.
Mr. Guterres seems to be coveting the
distinction of another Portuguese politician, Barroso, who through
participation in the meeting in the Azores assisted in preparations for the
invasion of Iraq. Now Guterres in Geneva is launching preparations for the
great war against Syria and Iran.
Three states are participating in the
Geneva Conference: Britain, Turkey and Greece. Both Britain and Turkey have
waged bloody wars against Cyprus to block its independence. Τhe state whose
fate is being decided at this Orwellian Conference, namely the Republic of
Cyprus, is not officially represented! The President of Cyprus is there as the
leader of the “Greek Cypriot community” (!), a terminology introduced to Cyprus
by British colonialists.
The Cypriot President consented to this
conference despite the protests of the Cypriot public. The consent was
extracted under intense pressure from Victoria Nuland and against a background
of media controversy over his being blackmailed with the case of the Russian
oligarch Lebedev, whose affairs were managed by Anastasiades’ law firm and
whose fate depends on the American courts and the American government. (2)
As for the government in Athens,
financially at the mercy of its creditors since the capitulation of 2015, has
handed over all of its foreign and defense policy to the US and Israel, despite
Greece’s traditionally strong ties with the Arab world and with Russia.
