CHIOS, GREECE – In a July 3
interview with The National
Herald, Member of Parliament
Notis Mitarakis (New Democ-
racy – Chios) said that Greek
Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras’ ul-
timate goal is to realign Greek
foreign policy. Essentially, to
move Greece away from the
West.
In the interview, which took
place two days before the refer-
endum vote, Mitarakis ex-
plained that while he considered
the referendum itself to be ille-
gitimate insofar as what the
people would be voting on was
twice amended and expired be-
fore the vote date, he is voting
NAI-YES, because he sees it as
a larger question: YES means
Greece stays in the euro, and
NO means it returns to the
drachma.
Mitarakis said that although
some feel a NO vote gives
Greece more leverage for a bet-
ter deal, the Tsipras government
is not seeking a better deal.
The interview follows:
TNH: Do you think Greeks
should vote yes or no to the ref-
erendum?
NM: I think it’s a very unfair
referendum. First of all, while
no one disagrees that the public
has to be consulted on major is-
sues, it is the government that
has the executive role to make
decisions.
This government was elected
in January with a very clear
mandate to renegotiate the
terms of the bailout agreement
within the European frame-
work, and now they’re calling
for a referendum with exactly
the same question.
I do not feel that they do not
have their mandate, I cannot
understand why they need to
renew their mandate.
And it is very unfair, also, be-
cause the question being asked
is no longer valid. We are asking
the people whether they accept
the terms of the Institution pro-
posal, but that proposal has
been amended twice. Techni-
cally, it expired Tuesday night
(June 30), as the Greek bailout
program was terminated, and
just before it expired, Prime
Minister Tsipras sent a letter
dated June 30 to [European
Commission President Jean-
Claude] Juncker, accepting 95%
of the proposal. So the govern-
ment is now asking the people

With an ultimatum on the
table to turn over a credible list
of reforms by July 12 or watch
Greece go under, international
lenders have told Greek Prime
Minister Alexis Tsipras this is his
last chance as they waited to see
what he's going to present.
Tsipras, the Radical Left
SYRIZA leader who had vowed
to reverse austerity – and has a
mandate from a July 5 referen-
dum in Greece to do so – never-
theless was reportedly ready to
renege on both and agree to
make reforms to pensions and
the country's notoriously ineffi-
cient tax system.
Greece has been waiting
since last year for release of a
7.2-billion euro ($7.9 billion)
installment from the Troika of
the European Union-Interna-
tional Monetary Fund-European
Central Bank (EU-IMF-ECB)
that was held back because
Tsipras, after being elected on
Jan. 25, refused to implement
tough conditions in return.
The country also failed, after
getting a four-month bailout ex-
tension on Feb. 20, to come up
with list of reforms acceptable
to the lenders and has fallen
deeper into debt after failing to
make a 1.6-billion euro ($1.77
billion) series of bundled op-
tions due the IMF and has to
pay the ECB 3.5 billion euros
($3.86 billion) which it can't do
either.
Faced with start reality,
Tsipras has asked for a third
bailout, unspecified as yet but
said to be for as much as 50 bil-
lion euros ($55.17 billion) over
three years also he said he
wants debt relief from the first
two bailouts totaling 240 billion
euros ($264.83 billion).
EU Economics Commissioner
Pierre Moscovici is hopeful that
a new Greek bailout deal is pos-
sible, in exchange for "concrete,
complete" reform proposals
from Greece's government.
Moscovici said on France-In-
ter radio that July 9 was "a de-
cisive day" for Europe, as
Greece's creditors await a de-
tailed economic reform plan
from Tsipras' government before
a midnight deadline.
Moscovici said, "I have the
sense that the dialogue is estab-
lished, or restored, and that
there is a way out." Failure to
reach a deal could be the first
step toward Greece leaving the
shared euro currency.
International creditors dis-
agree over whether to award
the country debt relief.
Moscovici said that is not cur-
rently under discussion al-
though the IMF, saying it would
refuse to take less than what it
borrowed, wants the EU to give
Greece a debt break.
WHAT TO DO?
With the country's future rid-
ing on what he does, Tsipras
was due before turning over a
rushed last-minute proposal to
meet separately with key minis-
ters, or possibly hold a cabinet
meeting.
He will have to tell them that
he's backing away from some of
the key provisions he vowed to
resist, essentially reneging on
the July 5 referendum he hailed
as an historic moment of defi-
ance.
But with banks closed for a
After Resounding “No” Referendum Vote,
PM to Make Attempt at Striking New Deal
By Constantine S. Sirigos
TNH Staff Writer
NEW YORK – Hellenes are well-
represented in the ranks of
economists around the world –
Christopher Pissarides won the
Nobel Prize in 2010, and Greek-
Americans among them have
been monitoring and publishing
on the Greek crisis.
Two distinguished Econo-
mists communicated with The
National Herald after this
week’s Greek referendum,
Charles W. Calomiris, Henry
Kaufman Professor of Financial
Institutions at Columbia Busi-
ness School, and Nicholas S.
Economides, Professor of Eco-
nomics at NYU’s Stern School of
Business.
Economides was blunt:
“Right now the situation in
Greece is extremely critical…
Greece is in deep trouble. The
banks have been closed for 10
days…The roads are empty and
the stores also, except for the
supermarkets.”
“An agreement must be
reached in a few days, because
of the condition of the banks
and because they will not be
able to pay the civil servants on
July 15.”
He thinks “the probability in
not very high – 20 percent – but
that is not negligible… the ref-
erendum, however, has in-
creased the probability of going
to the drachma, and that will be
a disaster.”
“People in New York don’t
understand how much more
critical the situation is now than
it was a year ago,” he said, but
rather than turn the election
into a vote of no-confidence in
Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras for
the way he has handled mat-
ters,” Economides said, “people
voted emotionally. They say ‘we
don’t want the Germans to tell
us what to do anymore.’
“What is perplexing, verging
on the tragic is that near the end

Ultimate Goal is to Realign
Greece’s Foreign Policy

SAN FRANCISCO, CA – The Or-
der of AHEPA hosted its 93rd
annual AHEPA Family Supreme
Convention at the San Francisco
Hyatt hotel July 1-5. The out-
going Supreme President of
AHEPA Phillip T. Frangos
capped a successful tenure by
opening the Convention. John
W. Galanis of Elm Grove, WI
was elected to succeed him.
At the installation ceremony,
Galanis discussed his goals and
challenges, but he added, "Ob-
viously, our immediate thoughts
and concerns are with the peo-
ple of Greece during this most
difficult and challenge time in
Greece's history," he said.
More than 1000 Greek Amer-
icans and Philhellenes gathered
for meetings, symposiums,
dances and special events.
Metropolitan Gerasimos of
San Francisco offered the open-
ing prayer and continued to say
that the AHEPA is a wonderful
organization which promotes
family values.
The Supreme President was
joined for farewell addresses by
the Grand President of the
Daughters of Penelope Anna He-
lene Grossomanides, Supreme
President of the Sons Jimmy
Googas and Grand President of
the Maids Deanna Socaris who
have also completed their
tenures. The consul general of
Greece Demetrios Xenitellis also
addressed the guests.
The program of the Grand
Banquet, the Convention’s cli-
max, “was a testament to the
AHEPA family’s grassroots capa-
bility to raise much-needed
funds for charitable causes.
AHEPA and its affiliated organi-
zations, the Daughters of Pene-
lope, Sons of Pericles, and Maids
of Athena, announced nearly
$115,000 in new funds raised
to help rebuild Saint Nicholas
National Shrine at World Trade
Center,” a press release noted.
Philanthropist/Entrepreneur
George Marcus presented The-
ofanis Economidis with the
2015 AHEPA Aristotle Award,
representing excellence in his
profession and in service to his
community.
Archbishop Demetrios was
the keynote speaker.
Our AHEPA family leader-
ship, led by Supreme President
Phillip T. Frangos, each deliv-
ered emotional farewell ad-
dresses.
There was also a commemo-
ration of the Daughters of Pene-
lope’s 85th anniversary.
After the Convention’s first
general session delegates were
hosted aboard the San Francisco
Belle for a glorious buffet dinner
and cruise of San Francisco Bay
with dancing and a karaoke con-
test
At the National Athletic
Awards Luncheon, the accep-
tance remarks from all the hon-
orees were touching and mem-
orable, as was the
acknowledgement of Athletic
Hall of Fame inductees, scholar
athletes, and national award-
winners.
Basil Mossaides, AHEPA’s Ex-
ecutive Director, congratulated
Penelope House Executive Di-
rector Tonie Ann Torrans for be-
ing inducted into the Daughters
of Penelope Athletic Hall of
Fame.
He also was thrilled that so
many people “came from near
and far—from our local San
Francisco AHEPA family to our
delegates and guests who came
from Greece, Bulgaria, and Aus-
tralia—and commend them for
taking the time to be with us
and to attend to the business of
the Order.”

HOUSTON, TX – I have a mam-
mogram every spring. The
preparation is the same. No lo-
tion. No perfume. No deodor-
ant. It is an uncomfortable
exam, but the alternative hurts
way more. I don’t really breathe
until I get the results, and then
I exhale a quick prayer of thanks
when I hear the words, “Every-
thing is fine. Continue self-ex-
ams. Have another mammo-
gram next year.” I’m not going
to discuss the conflicting recom-
mendations of when to begin
getting mammograms or how
often they should be done. I do
what I do to insure my health
and peace of mind.
This year was the same – ex-
cept for an ancillary issue. My
older daughter has been ill for
several months, and my body
has responded with a spike in
blood pressure that is off the
charts. I did not have any symp-

PROVIDENCE, RI – Rhode Is-
land State Senator Leonidas
Raptakis joined with Minnesota
Senate President Sandy Pappas
in asking their respective dele-
gations in the U.S. Congress to
take action in response to the
ongoing Greek crisis.
Raptakis shared with TNH
that “with youth unemployment
rates in the country at a stag-
gering 50%, the legislators are
asking federal officials to raise
the quota limit to allow more
Greeks to enter the United
States as their nation’s economy
has gone into a free-fall. Both
Senators said that by allowing
Greek nationals with solid, mar-
ketable job skills to come into
the United States to put their
talents to work, the U.S. gov-
ernment would be providing an
important lifeline to Greece.
“‘While the financial melt-
down in Greece has been in the
news of late, the horrible eco-
nomic conditions and youth un-
employment rates have become
a disturbing way of life for a
generation of young Greeks,’
said Raptakis. ‘We have a
chance here to take a basic step
that will help provide some
measure of relief to a country
which has been a strong ally of
the United States for many
decades.’
“Pappas [who was featured
in the Feb. 7, 2014 issue of
TNH, “Messenia to
Minnesota: Sen. Pappas Talks
to TNH”] added, ‘this crisis has
taken a terrible toll on the aspi-
rations of educated, young
Greeks who cannot find work
and have little hope for the fu-
ture. This would be a gesture of
good will that will demonstrate
to a new generation of Greek
citizens that the United States
is in their corner and willing to
help in a time of need.’
“Both Raptakis and Pappas
pointed to the support America
provided Greece in the years fol-
lowing World War II as a model
for taking action here. While the
United States cannot fix the
Greek economy, it can help pro-
vide an avenue of opportunity
for young Greek citizens at this
time of extreme crisis.
“‘By allowing educated
Greeks with strong job skills to
come to the US, we can actually
allow young people to put their
job skills to work as engineers,
doctors, and in a range of pro-
fessional fields,’ the senators
said. ‘The sad reality is that right
now, many of those talented
people are languishing in unem-
ployment or toiling in low-end
jobs that have nothing to do
with their skills.’

2. GREECE8 THE NATIONAL HERALD, JULY 11-17, 2015
to vote no, to an agreement to
which in essence, it has said yes,
and an agreement that has ex-
pired.
So the question is, actually,
what is it that we are asking the
people to do? Some critics, and
I am one of them, believe that
the actual question behind the
referendum is whether we want
to remain within the European
framework. Because that is how
the whole planet is interpreting
this referendum. And I find this
referendum to be dishonest, be-
cause it is not asking the people
what is clearly at stake. A much
better question to ask would
have been: “are you in favor or
against remaining a part of the
European Union (EU)?”
The other thing which I think
people need to understand is
that since January, the economy
has frozen. This government has
taken a stance against the pri-
vate sector, investments, and in-
vestors, and actually has only
focused on the public sector.
The cost of the new bailout is
multiplying. People have seen a
tough proposal by the Institu-
tion, a tough proposal by Tsipras
– and these proposals are eight
times the size of what was
needed in December, because
the underlying need of the econ-
omy has increased.
We [the New Democracy
Party] tried very hard in 2012
to change the perception of the
Greek economy, focusing on
growth, and in 2014 achieved
that for the first time since
2007. In 2013 and 2014 we had
a positive balance of payments
for the first time since 1948. All
this was not accomplished with-
out sacrifices. And not without
mistakes. Clearly, the people are
very right to be angry. They
have seen their standard of liv-
ing go down over the past four
years. But instead of talking
about the causes, we are talking
about the effects. [Is the current
government] trying to cure the
effects by lying to people? Is
austerity bad? Of course it’s bad.
But ending austerity [has to
mean] producing more. These
are the challenges the people
have to face, and unfortunately,
the government is not being
honest with them.
TNH: So your “yes” vote to
the referendum, then, is really
a yes vote in the broader sense
of Greece remaining in the euro.
NP: Yes, exactly. Some people
think that a “no” vote means this
government will pursue a better
deal, but it will not. And I say
this now, before the Sunday
(July 5) vote.
TNH: Why do you think
Tsipras and his government are
handling things as they are?
What is their goal? And, do you
think they will be successful in
accomplishing it?
NM: I think the goal in the
end has to do with realigning
Greek foreign policy away from
the West. Let’s look at Greece,
at the big picture: Greece after
the Second World War was a
poor and destroyed economy.
The standard of living at the
time was not dissimilar to that
of our neighbors to the North
and to the East. Two genera-
tions later – and even after the
crisis – Greece ranks among the
top developed economies in the
world. In that time, we’ve had
five different governments, of
different political attitude, dif-
ferent constitutional legitimacy
– we had democracy and also
the military coup.
So, how did Greece manage
to achieve a high standard of
living, educate its children, and
have most of the advantages of
a developed country (electricity,
water, cars, education, health)?
Because we belonged to the
West.
That was consistent among
all those governments. But now,
we are revisiting, questioning,
that fundamental dogma that al-
lowed Greeks to emerge from
poverty into European prosper-
ity.
Since joining the European
Union 35 years ago, Greece has
experienced prosperity, security,
and stability. But many [Greek]
people do not appreciate that.
There is a lot of anger, especially
among the younger generations,
which do not see the same op-
portunities available that their
parents had.
And that is Greece’s biggest
challenge: giving the younger
generation a sense of hope. But
we can only give that hope in
an economy driven by the pri-
vate sector within the European
framework. We need to be a
pro-market, pro-growth society
and economy.
And no one has offered to
help Greece economically
through this crisis other than its
European partners.
TNH: As many of our Greek-
American readers – who re-
member visiting Greece under
the drachma in past decades –
ask: why it would be so bad for
Greece to return to the
drachma, at this point, consid-
ering they had the drachma all
these years before, and things
didn't really seem that bad?
NM: If things were so good
under the drachma, so many
Greeks wouldn’t have left
Greece. If you look at the rela-
tive prosperity of Greece, it has
grown through its years in the
Euro membership. There is al-
ways some nostalgia about the
past – it’s a natural human ten-
dency, and to remember that “it
was better then.” This is a nat-
ural bias. The stability and se-
curity, the ability to attract in-
vestments, to have foreigners
bring money into Greece with-
out risk of devaluation, no cap-
ital controls regarding the trans-
fer of their wealth in and out of
the country.
Greece still imports a lot of
goods: technology, cars, food,
medicine, energy, and [without
the euro], it would take us
many, many years to be able to
produce these things ourselves,
and have them be of high qual-
ity and at a competitive price.
Also, it is about security. We
live in a very difficult neighbor-
hood of the planet. We are the
last border of Europe to the
East. Hostilities are not many
kilometers away from us, and
so we need to remain part of
the EU.
TNH: What must the New
Democracy Party do to regain
the trust of the people, consid-
ering they lost significantly in
the last election?
NM: We did not lose signifi-
cantly in the sense that we kept
a percentage in the public vote
close to that of 2012; simply,
our opponents gained momen-
tum from other parties. Politi-
cians are accused of not telling
the truth, but when they do tell
the truth, they do not become
popular. We were honest with
people: we imposed taxes, and
that made us very unpopular,
but that was the only way to
meet our economic needs. The
only way to pay for salaries,
pensions, education, health, and
defense. Some critics said we
were not tough enough to com-
plete the reforms, and there is
some merit to this argument.
New Democracy needs to renew
its message to the Greek people,
about the economic model that
Greece needs to follow to exit
the crisis and stay out of the cri-
sis. Because it is not about the
short-term exit of crisis, but
rather not to have a similar cri-
sis again.
TNH: The American media,
particularly the conservative
media, portray Greece as a
country in which the people re-
tire in their 50s, with a full pen-
sion, get a month off at Christ-
mas, and sleep in the afternoon.
Conservatives in particular point
to that as a prime example of
the failure of society run by big
government (i.e., the Obama
Administration). Is that an ac-
curate portrayal, and if not,
please clarify what the real pic-
ture is.
NM: Greece, unfortunately,
has been used as a political ex-
ample from political people
from the left and the right all
around the world, trying to
make judgments and find com-
monality with their own prob-
lems. According to the European
Statistics Office (Eurostat),
Greeks are the hardest-working
people in Europe. They do not
retire that early, and they do
work hard. The problem with
the Greek economy is that we
need more of a private sector,
structural pro-growth policies,
and more scale (the cost advan-
tage that arises with increased
output of a product) in the econ-
omy. And so I wouldn’t like
Greece to be used as an example
by anyone for their own domes-
tic agendas.
TNH: If you were prime min-
ister of Greece right now, what
would you do differently from
what Tsipras is doing?
NM: The best way to have
solved the crisis would have
been to prevent it. We would
have prevented the crisis [if we
were in power.] Greece was
about to exit the [bailout] pro-
gram in February, and was ready
to go back to the markets. If we
completed the structural re-
forms, Greece would not have
needed another program. We
would have been able to pro-
duce more, reduce tax rates,
and create a positive cycle in the
economy.
TNH: Turning to Chios, I no-
ticed that there are a lot of
tourists here from Turkey. This
is obviously a good sign for
Chios' economy, but does it also
enhance Greek Turkish relations
as a whole?
NM: I hope it does. There
was always a good border rela-
tionship between the two coun-
tries. Greeks also travel to
Turkey. It is good that we are
having so many Turks come, but
it is negative in the sense that
we rely so much on one market
(country) for tourism. We need
to balance this market [of
tourism] better.
TNH: Is there anything else
that you would like to share
with our readers?
NM: I would like to thank
the Greek-American community
for being very supportive of the
motherland. As there are now
newer generations of Greek-
Americans, I am very happy to
see a lot of them coming to
Chios. Please keep on coming,
and let us continue to maintain
this historical link.
