New Democracy bears a "huge responsibility" for its populism in undermining his government after Greece's financial woes became known and for prolonging the country's bailout regime, former prime minister George Papandreou said on Friday.

Now that George Papandreou is returning to the central political scene, the winner of the 2009 elections with a percentage that would be envied by his political opponents (PASOK 43.92% and 160 seats, second party ND with 33.47% and 91 seats), inevitably our mind goes back to that time and the bleak years of the memoranda that followed.

Socialist former prime minister George Papandreou revealed that in 2003 the governments of Greece and Turkey almost agreed to resolve the issue of delineating their continental shelf through the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in the Hague.

Socialist former prime minister and President of Socialist International George Papandreou reiterated his support for the Prespes accord, according to an interview which will be published in a Greek daily over the weekend.

During its eight years of bailout programs, Greece suffered an economic hit comparable to the Great Depression in the US in the 1930s. People became poorer, hundreds of thousands of businesses went bust, skilled workers emigrated, and extremist politicians made gains.

George Papandreou was awarded top honors on Saturday by the International Leadership Association (ILA) for his contribution as a politician and prime minister of Greece from 2009 to 2011.

The award ceremony was held in Brussels as part of the association's 19th annual conference, and was attended by more than 1,500 prominent figures from the fields of politics, business and academia.

It is not the first time U.S. Special Presidential Envoy for the Global Coalition To Counter the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) Brett McGurk raised eyebrows in Turkey.
