[01] Pavlopoulos: Our duty to defend the Lausanne Treaty
Greece is determined to defend the unswerving implementation of the
Lausanne Treaty, President Prokopis Pavlopoulos said on Thursday during
an event proclaming him a honourary president of the National Research
Foundation "Eleftherios Venizelos" in Chania, Crete.
Pavlopoulos reiterated that Greece does not claim anything that doesn't
belong to the country but "we're not willing to concede one iota of what
is, without a doubt, our national and European heritage."
"On this principle, it is our duty to defend the unswerving implementation
… of the great legacy left by Eleftherios Vanizelos, the Lausanne
Treaty," he said, noting that the treaty represents European as well as
Greek borders.
[02] Freon gas leak a likely cause of deadly explosion at fast-food chain,
says fire department
A leak of Freon gas is thought to be the most likely cause of the deadly
gas explosion at a fast-food chain in central Athens on Thursday that
killed one woman and injured five more people, the investigative team
of the fire department said.
According to the officials, the accident happened while the refrigerator
technician was working at the basemen of the store where all the fridges
are stored. They also said the store didn't use natural gas or propane.
However a safe conclusion as to what caused the explosion will only be
determined after the investigation is concluded, they added.
