Abstract

Shadow of Cyprus. The Greek Elections
MarCoglou, Emmanuel | March 3, 1956 issue

add to cart   close window

The article is the lesson of Greek elections in which the party of Premier Karamanlis won a slim parliamentary majority only by virtue of a "stacked" electoral law. The Leftist Democratic Union, in opposition, won an actual popular majority of at least 200,000 of the some three million votes cast. Furthermore, the article also presents the September riots against Greeks in Constantinople and Smyrna, that resulted in the desecration of Greek cemeteries and the destruction of sixty Greek churches along with the looting of 5000 shops.
