Amalia claimed that documents uncovered from the Russian State Archive of Contemporary History (RGANI) showed that Moscow was funding AKEL with the aim of preventing the union of Cyprus with Greece. According to her, the funding served Soviet interests, as Greece was a NATO member. She stated that the money was channeled through the International Trade Union Assistance Fund for Left-Wing Labor Organizations, which she described as a cover for the KGB, and that the allocations were approved by the Political Bureau of the CPSU. She mentioned Yuri Andropov as responsible for transferring the funds. According to Amalia, six annual reports for the period 1961-1973 recorded remittances to AKEL amounting to $56,000 in 1961, $56,222 in 1962, $56,000 in 1963, $69,722 in 1965, $70,000 in 1966, and $140,000 in 1973, totaling $447,944. She added that these amounts did not necessarily constitute the total aid received by the party, as, she wrote, documents for all the years had not been declassified. She also mentioned that AKEL had received weapons from Moscow. She wrote that the Central Committee of the CPSU approved, at the request of AKEL's General Secretary Ezekias Papayiannou, the shipment of 100 Walther pistols and 25,000 cartridges. According to the posting, the weapons were sent on June 13, 1974, and delivered on July 4. Amalia questioned the stated purpose in the documents — the protection of AKEL leadership and other persons — and claimed that the weapons were intended for terrorist actions against EOKA B. Finally, she stated that Makarios had received weapons from Czechoslovakia, with Moscow's approval, in late January 1972. According to her, these were unloaded in the area of Kseros and transported with about 50 trucks to the Archdiocese in Nicosia. #Κύπρος #ΑΚΕΛ #ιστορία (translated)

The Prime Minister of Greece stated that he welcomed the President of Lithuania, Gitanas Nausėda, in Athens today and expressed his country's solidarity with Lithuania, which he said had already been hit by consecutive hybrid attacks. Regarding the negotiations on the Multiannual Financial Framework, he said that the two countries had essentially common positions and that the initially proposed resources were insufficient for Europe's increased ambitions. He also argued that cohesion policy was a prerequisite for European competitiveness and linked the deepening of the single market with the need for geographical balance. The Prime Minister also referred to the funding for the protection of the EU's external borders and said that Greece and Lithuania knew from their experience the weaponization of migration flows. He added that the borders needed to be protected alongside safeguarding the values of the EU and that the implementation of the new Pact on Migration and Asylum would be assessed in practice. https://t.co/0tyXLOatyN #Ευρώπη #Λιθουανία #Μετανάστευση (translated)
