  • [01] PASOK leader calls for 'end of drama' in Mideast

    Main opposition Panhellenic Socialist Movement (PASOK) leader and Socialist International (SI) President George Papandreou reiterated on Thursday his call for an end to the "drama in the Middle East."

    "The drama in the Middle East continues. Yesterday's (Wednesday's) International Conference in Rome did not put an end to this drama. There was no agreement for an immediate ceasefire, for an immediated truce," Papandreou said in statements to the press.

    "We, from the first moment and in all our contacts with the international community and politicians in the region, have asked precisely this, and we are struggling for this objective, that is the immediate truce," the SI president, who on Wednesday visited Beyrouth, added.

    Papandreou said he would be having a new telephone contact with UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan to examine recent developments.

    "I will express to Mr. Annan my condolences for the killing, in an Israeli attack, of four UN peacekeepers. The fact that even members of the peacekeeping forces are attacked unfortunately shows even more clearly the dramatic situation prevailing in Lebanon," he added.

    "As I said yesterday, what is being judged at present is the credibility of the inernational community. Its credibility is being judged in relation to its actions, in relation to its ommitions, in relation to the decisions that are being or not taken," Papandreou concluded.

    Earlier in the day, Papandreou held talks in Athens with former Israeli defence minister Ephraim Sneh.
