Kissinger Watch #7 - 04 New Book: "The secret Kissinger archives: The decision for partition" http://www.cypria.com/frame.html?url=http://www.phileleftheros.com/ see also : http://www.greekembassy.org/press/newsflash/2002/April/nflash0427f.html 17 May 2002 The first presentation of the new book "The secret Kissinger archives: The decision for partition" in the United States was held yesterday at the Cultural Center of the Greek Orthodox Church in Astoria, New York in the presence of Apostolos Kaklamanis, Chairman of the Greek Parliament currently on an official visit. In his address, Michalis Ignatiou, co-author of the book and US correspondent for the Cyprus Broadcasting Corporation, said that the book came about as a result of his personal quest to understand what lapsed in Cyprus during the six day period from 15 – 20 July 1974. Michalis Ignatiou said that the conclusion of the book is that the former Secretary of State shoulders all the responsibility for the tragedy, that he planned the partition and supervised the implementation of his plan, and appears to enjoy the tragedy according to the documents presented in the book. Michalis Ignatiou said that Kissinger’s actions violated the US Constitution and for this reason many organizations throughout the world are fighting to hold him accountable for his actions. He stated that two lawyers in Greece and Cyprus have already decided to represent individuals who will file lawsuits against Kissinger, while a similar effort is now underway in Washington. Officials present at the book presentation included Adamantios Vasilakis, ambassador of Greece to the UN, Yorgos Cassoulides, deputy ambassador of Cyprus to the UN, Vasilis Filippou, Consul of Cyprus in New York, and Bishop Vikentios, representative of Archbishop Demetrios.
