[01] Main opposition PASOK President on UN's 60th anniversary

"Unfortunately, the modern history of wars, conflicts and the violation of international law confirms the need for the Organisation's continued and strengthened provision of services on this primary level," he said.

"Humanity's inability to overcome national interests does not yet allow the UN to evolve into a modern organisation dedicated to providing aid and dealing with modern, international social and natural challenges. September's Summit Meeting underscored the need for renewal, modernisation and the immediate addressing of global problems," he added.

Referring to Greece, Papandreou said that the country respects and supports the regulations and decisions made by UN agencies.

"We hope that soon, with complete respect for resolutions related to Cyprus and through the provision of the Secretary General's services, an end will come to the justified struggle of our fellow Cypriots," he said.

"Greece celebrates this anniversary, as a non-permanent member of the Security Council during the period 2005-2006; a very significant accomplishment and a reward for Greece's efforts towards world peace, to which PASOK made the utmost contribution through the foreign policy exercised by its governments," he added.
