Constantinos Karamanlis

US Ambassador Geoffrey Pyatt was in the northern Greek region of Serres on Friday, where he met with local officials and visited the family home of late statesman Constantinos Karamanlis.

After the adventures, contradictions and hyperbole of the past - even the dangerous recklessness of certain politicians gripped by delusions - the overwhelming majority of Greece's political parties (all of whom have either exercised power or may be called to do so soon) appear to agree on the basic parameters of the country's foreign policy.

17 years after the death of former President of Republic and conservative New Democracy leader Constantinos Karamanlis, a memorial service was held at “Constantinos Karamanlis Institute”, at the Athens suburb of Filothei on Tuesday.
