GREECE REVISITED
The Guardian, Special Report, 12 August 2004
Greece enters a new era as a stable, multi-cultural member of the eurozone, a new generation confident about its future. The Olympic Games have been a catalyst for development and highlight the country’s vibrant modernity. With £26 billion invested in EU funded, games-related projects - more than any other European city - Athens hopes to create a new boost for Greece as a trade, tourism and investment hub, spurring long-lasting development. In an exclusive interview with the Prime Minister, Costas Karamanlis explains his vision for Greece’s post-Olympic economy, why he assumed the post of Culture minister, renewed relations with Turkey and resolving the Cyprus issue. Additionally Athens Mayor Dora Bakoyianni outlines the benefits for the city and investors, as the capital becomes a regional business and cultural centre once again.
