The greatness of a political leader is not determined by whether he tells the truth or not.

A new center-right party involving two former conservative ministers has no ties to ex prime minister Costas Karamanlis, his former press minister, Theodoros Rousopoulos, said Thursday.

A new center-right political party, seen as having close ties to the so-called Karamanlis faction within New Democracy opposition, was launched Tuesday.
