In addition, the stiff constraints imposed by the rigid and artificial Papadopoulos transition upon the democratic body politic of Greece antagonised not only the politicians but also the <a href="/wiki/Intelligentsia" title="Intelligentsia">intelligentsia</a>, whose primary exponents were the students.<a href="#cite_note-The_Metapolitefsi_that_never_was-2">[2]</a><a href="#cite_note-Past_present,_4_October_2002-5">[5]</a> Not unexpectedly, in November 1973 the <a href="/wiki/Athens_Polytechnic_uprising" title="Athens Polytechnic uprising">Athens Polytechnic uprising</a> broke out starting with the usual <a href="/wiki/Student_protest" title="Student protest">student protest</a> tactics such as building occupations and radio broadcasts. The student uprising is believed to have been spontaneous, and not orchestrated by any particular <a href="/wiki/Political_group" class="mw-redirect" title="Political group">political group</a> in Greece. In fact, a smaller uprising had preceded it two weeks earlier at the Athens Law School and it was still active even as events at the Polytechnic were unfolding.<a href="#cite_note-David_Glass-10">[10]</a> Unlike a previous strike in the Athens law school in February 1973, prior to their liberalisation attempt, where the regime negotiated at length with the students and bloodshed was avoided, in November 1973 the regime made no attempt to negotiate with the students.<a href="#cite_note-The_Metapolitefsi_that_never_was-2">[2]</a> At the same time the students taking part in the smaller law school demonstration moved into the Polytechnic, as the events there gathered momentum.<a href="#cite_note-David_Glass-10">[10]</a> In normal (democratic) times, such a protest might have been defused using tactics based on usual historical <a href="/wiki/Precedent" title="Precedent">precedents</a> such as <a href="/wiki/Negotiations" class="mw-redirect" title="Negotiations">negotiations</a> with student leaders, and failing that, resorting to using normal <a href="/wiki/Crowd_control" title="Crowd control">crowd control</a> methods followed by more negotiations, as the regime had done with the law students some weeks before.<a href="#cite_note-The_Metapolitefsi_that_never_was-2">[2]</a> However, this student protest happened in the middle of the uncertain political <a href="/wiki/Experiment" title="Experiment">experiment</a> of transition from dictatorship to democracy.<a href="#cite_note-The_Metapolitefsi_that_never_was-2">[2]</a> Given that the main <a href="/wiki/Political_engineering" title="Political engineering">engineer</a> of the transition, Papadopoulos, did not have much experience in democratic transitions,<a href="#cite_note-Barany2012-11">[11]</a> his liberalisation plan was derailed as students, and, later, workers, used the liberalisation to start their uprising, which forced the Papadopoulos regime to clamp-down hard on the protests, a move that discredited the very liberalisation Papadopoulos was trying to implement.<a href="#cite_note-DanopoulosRemington2019-12">[12]</a><a href="#cite_note-Kassimeris-13">[13]</a> In failing to negotiate, the junta made martyrs out of the Polytechnic students. This in turn gave the student protest momentum and it eventually evolved into a near-universal demonstration against the dictatorship.

In fact Papadopoulos's reply to Markezinis was: "Mimis [nickname for Dimitrios, Ioannides's first name] is an "Arsakeiás", he would never do something like that". "Arsakeiás", in Greek, is a female student of the <a href="/wiki/Arsakeio" title="Arsakeio">Arsakeio</a>, a strict all-female school in Athens in Papadopoulos's time, and a metaphor for a "quiet, shy girl".<a href="#cite_note-Arsakeias-19">[19]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="1973_Ioannides_Counter_Coup">1973 Ioannides Counter Coup</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Metapolitefsi&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: 1973 Ioannides Counter Coup">edit</a>]</div> Ioannides, a disaffected hardliner and a man with an established anti-democratic record,<a href="#cite_note-Past_present,_4_October_2002-5">[5]</a><a href="#cite_note-Greece_marks_'73_student_uprising-20">[20]</a> seized the opportunity. On 25 November 1973 he used the uprising as a pretext to stage a counter coup that overthrew Papadopoulos and put an abrupt end to Markezinis's attempt at transition to democratic rule. In fact, his coup was planned months prior to the events at the Polytechnic.<a href="#cite_note-The_Metapolitefsi_that_never_was-2">[2]</a> Ioannides's involvement in inciting unit commanders of the security forces to commit criminal acts during the Athens Polytechnic uprising, so that he could facilitate his upcoming coup, was noted in the <a href="/wiki/Indictment" title="Indictment">indictment</a> presented to the court by the prosecutor during the <a href="/wiki/Greek_junta_trials" title="Greek junta trials">junta trials</a> and in his subsequent conviction in the Polytechneion trial where he was found to have been morally responsible for the events.<a href="#cite_note-Unrepetant-21">[21]</a> During the Ioannides coup the radio broadcasts, following the now familiar coup in progress scenario featuring martial music interspersed with military orders and curfew announcements, kept repeating that the army was taking back the reins of power in order to save the principles of the 1967 revolution and that the overthrow of the Papadopoulos-Markezinis government was supported by the army, navy and air force.<a href="#cite_note-BBC:_On_this_day-22">[22]</a> At the same time they announced that the new coup was a "continuation of the revolution of 1967" and accused Papadopoulos with "straying from the ideals of the 1967 revolution" and "pushing the country towards parliamentary rule too quickly".<a href="#cite_note-BBC:_On_this_day-22">[22]</a> Ioannides proceeded to arrest Markezinis and Papadopoulos, cancelled the elections that were planned for 1974, reinstated <a href="/wiki/Martial_law" title="Martial law">martial law</a>, and appointed a puppet government headed by old junta member General <a href="/wiki/Phaedon_Gizikis" title="Phaedon Gizikis">Phaedon Gizikis</a> as the new president, and civilian, and old Papadopoulos junta cabinet member, <a href="/wiki/Adamantios_Androutsopoulos" title="Adamantios Androutsopoulos">Adamantios Androutsopoulos</a> as the prime minister. Unlike Papadopoulos, Ioannides was not particularly concerned with legal or democratic processes. He was prepared for a dictatorship of thirty or more years.<a href="#cite_note-The_Metapolitefsi_that_never_was-2">[2]</a> Being a more orthodox dictator and thinking in simpler terms than Papadopoulos, he solved the dilemma on how to achieve a democratic transition by dropping the plan completely.<a href="#cite_note-Coerant-23">[23]</a> Prior to seizing power, Ioannides preferred to work in the background and never held any formal office in the junta government. Reflecting his penchant for secrecy, the press described him as the invisible dictator.<a href="#cite_note-Arsakeias-19">[19]</a><a href="#cite_note-Telegraph-24">[24]</a> Now he ruled Greece from the shadows,<a href="#cite_note-Telegraph-24">[24]</a> and was the <a href="/wiki/De_facto" title="De facto">de facto</a> leader of a <a href="/wiki/Puppet_state" title="Puppet state">puppet regime</a> composed by members some of whom were rounded up by <a href="/wiki/Greek_Military_Police" title="Greek Military Police">ESA soldiers</a> in roving <a href="/wiki/Jeep" title="Jeep">jeeps</a> to serve and others that were simply chosen by mistake.<a href="#cite_note-Greece_marks_'73_student_uprising-20">[20]</a><a href="#cite_note-Mario_Modiano-25">[25]</a> <a href="/wiki/Adamantios_Androutsopoulos" title="Adamantios Androutsopoulos">Adamantios Androutsopoulos</a>, the new junta prime minister, was described as a political non-entity by the <a href="/wiki/New_York_Times" class="mw-redirect" title="New York Times">New York Times</a>.<a href="#cite_note-Non-entity-26">[26]</a> Despite its doubtful origins, the new junta pursued an aggressive internal crackdown and an expansionist foreign policy. At his frequent press conferences during his rule, Papadopoulos <a href="/wiki/Georgios_Papadopoulos#"Patient_in_a_cast"_and_other_metaphors" title="Georgios Papadopoulos">often used</a> the <a href="/wiki/Patient" title="Patient">patient</a> in a <a href="/wiki/Orthopedic_cast" title="Orthopedic cast">cast</a> <a href="/wiki/Analogy" title="Analogy">analogy</a> to describe his assault on the <a href="/wiki/Body_politic" title="Body politic">body politic</a> of Greece. He usually answered questions on the topic of democratic transition from the press by referring to the <a href="/wiki/Glossary_of_the_Greek_military_junta" title="Glossary of the Greek military junta">patient</a> analogy in a <a href="/wiki/Humour" title="Humour">humorous</a> and jovial manner.<a href="#cite_note-EIR-27">[27]</a> He used to say that he put the patient (Greece) in a cast ("ασθενή στον γύψο" literally: patient in <a href="/wiki/Gypsum" title="Gypsum">gypsum</a>) so that he could fix her skeletal (implying <a href="/wiki/Political_structure" title="Political structure">political</a>) structure.<a href="#cite_note-Diane_Shugart-28">[28]</a> Typically the "doctor" had to operate on the "patient" by putting restraints on the "patient", tying him on a surgical bed to perform the "operation" so that the life of the "patient" would not be "endangered" during the operation.<a href="#cite_note-SteenSteen2015-29">[29]</a> This analogy aside, Papadopoulos at least indicated his intention of ending military rule once the political system had recovered to his satisfaction and that the treatment would progress on some legal and political basis.<a href="#cite_note-Coerant-23">[23]</a> In fact Papadopoulos had indicated as early as 1968 that he was eager for a reform process and even tried to contact Markezinis at the time. He then repeatedly attempted to initiate reforms in 1969 and 1970, only to be thwarted by the hardliners including Ioannides. In fact subsequent to his 1970 failed attempt at reform, he threatened to resign and was dissuaded only after the hardliners renewed their personal allegiance to him.<a href="#cite_note-The_Metapolitefsi_that_never_was-2">[2]</a> In contrast, Ioannides did not talk to the press and did not offer any analogies for his proposed treatment. But through his actions one can determine that the cast analogy did not serve his purposes any longer. Ioannides therefore abandoned the patient in a cast analogy that Papadopoulos offered in order to make a political statement that no democratic transition would take place during his tenure in power.<a href="#cite_note-The_Metapolitefsi_that_never_was-2">[2]</a> This also indicated that Ioannides was not concerned about legal formalities.<a href="#cite_note-Coerant-23">[23]</a> He was a "ruthless dictator who toppled the [Papadopoulos] junta for being too liberal".<a href="#cite_note-Telegraph-24">[24]</a> Ioannidis was considered a "purist and a moralist, a type of Greek Gaddafi".<a

The complete rationale for their subsequent actions, even to this day, is not known. Analysis of their motives can improve with time as new details come to the fore but it appears that the junta members realised that the Androutsopoulos government could not deal effectively with the dual crises of the Cyprus conflict and the economy.<a href="#cite_note-Non-entity-26">[26]</a> Androutsopoulos, described as a political non-entity, did not have the clout to effectively negotiate an honourable end to the Cyprus crisis. It is reported that President Gizikis finally realised the need for a strong government which could effectively negotiate an end to the Cyprus conflict.<a href="#cite_note-Non-entity-26">[26]</a> In the early hours of the Cyprus crisis, indications of panic and indecision in the junta government were manifestly evident from the reaction of the Greek public as they raided <a href="/wiki/Supermarket" title="Supermarket">supermarkets</a> and <a href="/wiki/Grocery_store" title="Grocery store">grocery stores</a> all over Greece, fearing an all out <a href="/wiki/War" title="War">war</a> with <a href="/wiki/Turkey" title="Turkey">Turkey</a> and sensing the inability of the junta to govern, as well as the anxious attempts of the junta members to communicate with and surrender power to the very same members of the democratic <a href="/wiki/The_Establishment" title="The Establishment">Establishment</a> of Greece that they had <a href="/wiki/Demon" title="Demon">demonised</a> and maligned as palaiokommatistes (meaning old party system men) throughout the dictatorship.<a href="#cite_note-GreiffMayer-Rieckh2007-14">[14]</a> They had also worked hard during their seven years in power to create a New Greece (Νέα Ελλάδα) under the <a href="/wiki/Slogan" title="Slogan">slogan</a> of Ellas Ellinon Christianon (translated as Greece of the Christian Greeks)<a href="#cite_note-Diane_Shugart-28">[28]</a> completely devoid of any link with the old party system and its politicians.<a href="#cite_note-Past_Present,_22_July_2005-43">[43]</a> Now they were ready to relinquish this vision to that same old guard they had maligned as obsolete old party system men.<a href="#cite_note-GreiffMayer-Rieckh2007-14">[14]</a> This <a href="/wiki/Paradox" title="Paradox">paradox</a> is at the centre of the phenomenon known as Metapolitefsi. There are two possible considerations which could assist in resolving this paradox. First, due to the risk of imminent war with Turkey there was no room for negotiations during the transition from military to political rule. Second reason was that since the military failed in the one area they were supposed to be competent by showing inadequate organisation during war preparations and ultimately failing to protect Cyprus from the invasion, they also lost what remained of their political clout and thus they were unable to resist the demands of the politicians.<a href="#cite_note-GreiffMayer-Rieckh2007-14">[14]</a> The second paradox was Karamanlis's slow response in cleansing the military from the junta elements. Although the army was politically very weak at the time, Karamalis proceeded with great caution in eliminating junta supporters still remaining within the military. The second paradox can be explained by the fact that at the time, due to the Cyprus crisis, Karamanlis did not want to proceed with measures that would lower the morale of the army, and thus weaken the military, at a time of crisis with Turkey.<a href="#cite_note-GreiffMayer-Rieckh2007-14">[14]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="The_junta_relinquishes_power">The junta relinquishes power</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Metapolitefsi&action=edit&section=8" title="Edit section: The junta relinquishes power">edit</a>]</div> Following the Cyprus invasion by the Turks, the dictators ultimately abandoned Ioannides and his policies. On 23 July 1974, President Gizikis called a meeting of old guard politicians, including <a href="/wiki/Panagiotis_Kanellopoulos" title="Panagiotis Kanellopoulos">Panagiotis Kanellopoulos</a>, <a href="/wiki/Spyros_Markezinis" title="Spyros Markezinis">Spyros Markezinis</a>, <a href="/wiki/Stephanos_Stephanopoulos" class="mw-redirect" title="Stephanos Stephanopoulos">Stephanos Stephanopoulos</a>, <a href="/wiki/Evangelos_Averoff" title="Evangelos Averoff">Evangelos Averoff</a> and others. The heads of the armed forces also participated in the meeting. The agenda was to appoint a national unity government with the mandate to lead the country to elections and at the same time to honourably extricate Greece from an armed confrontation with Turkey.<a href="#cite_note-Karamanlis_Time-7">[7]</a><a href="#cite_note-Past_Present,_22_July_2005-43">[43]</a> Gizikis proposed, at first, that the key ministries of Defence, Public Order, and the Interior be controlled by the military – but this idea was summarily rejected.<a href="#cite_note-Independent-44">[44]</a> Former Prime Minister Panagiotis Kanellopoulos was originally suggested as the head of the new interim government. He was the legitimate Prime Minister originally deposed by the dictatorship and a distinguished veteran politician who had repeatedly criticised Papadopoulos and his successor. Raging battles were still taking place in Cyprus' north and Greece's border with Turkey in <a href="/wiki/Western_Thrace" title="Western Thrace">Thrace</a> was tense when Greeks took to the streets in all the major cities, celebrating the junta's decision to relinquish power before the war in Cyprus could spill all over the Aegean.<a href="#cite_note-Karamanlis_Time-7">[7]</a><a href="#cite_note-Past_Present,_22_July_2005-43">[43]</a> But talks in Athens were going nowhere with Gizikis's offer to Panayiotis Kanellopoulos to form a government.<a href="#cite_note-Past_Present,_22_July_2005-43">[43]</a> Nonetheless, after all the other politicians departed without reaching a decision, Evangelos Averoff remained in the meeting room. He telephoned Karamanlis in Paris to appraise him of the developments and urge him to return to Greece, and, following the call, further engaged Gizikis.<a href="#cite_note-Mario_Modiano-25">[25]</a> He insisted that <a href="/wiki/Constantine_Karamanlis" class="mw-redirect" title="Constantine Karamanlis">Constantine Karamanlis</a>, prime minister of Greece from 1955 to 1963, was the only political personality who could lead a successful transition government, taking into consideration the new circumstances and dangers both inside and outside the country. Gizikis and the heads of the armed forces initially expressed reservations, but they finally became convinced by Averoff's arguments.<a href="#cite_note-Past_Present,_22_July_2005-43">[43]</a> Admiral Arapakis was the first, among the participating military leaders, to express his support for Karamanlis. After Averoff's decisive intervention, Gizikis phoned Karamanlis at his Paris apartment and begged him to return.<a href="#cite_note-Karamanlis_Time-7">[7]</a> Karamanlis initially hesitated but Gizikis pledged to him that the military would no longer interfere in the political affairs of Greece.<a href="#cite_note-Gizikis_NYT-45">[45]</a> Other junta members joined Gizikis in his pledge.<a href="#cite_note-Gizikis_NYT-45">[45]</a> Throughout his stay in <a href="/wiki/France" title="France">France</a>, Karamanlis was a thorn at the side of the junta because he possessed the credibility and popularity they lacked both in Greece and abroad and he also criticised them often.<a href="#cite_note-Karamanlis_Time-7">[7]</a> Upon news of his impending arrival cheering Athenian crowds took to the streets chanting: "Ερχεται! Ερχεται!" "Here he comes! Here he comes!"<a href="#cite_note-Past_Present,_22_July_2005-43">[43]</a> Similar celebrations broke out all over Greece.

The political and social views expounded by PASOK were in antithesis to the center-right policies followed by the conservative government of ND (1974–1981). According to Ino Afentouli, the political expression of the metapolitefsi, namely the coming to power of a conservative leader such as Karamanlis, did not correspond to the changes which had in the meantime befallen Greek society.

Some analysts, including Afentouli, regard PASOK's victory under Papandreou as a culmination of the metapolitefsi of 1974, given that the fall of the junta had not been accompanied by the rise of new

This denial is said to have turned the US against Papadopoulos and Markezinis. quote 2:Thus the students 'had been played straight into the hands of Ioannidis, who looked upon the coming elections with a jaundiced eye.. quote 3: The latter (editor's note: i.e. Markezinis) would insist until the end of his life that subversion on behalf..... ..Markezinis was known for his independence to the US interests quote 4: In that situation Ioannidis was emerging as a solution for the officers, in sharp contrast to Papadopoulos, whose accumulation 'of so many offices and titles (President of Republic, Prime Minister, minister of Defence) was harming the seriousness of the regime and giving it an unacceptable image, which was not left un-exploited by its opponents quote 5: The first attempt of Papadopoulos to start a process of reforma occurred in the spring of 1968. He was claiming that if the 'Revolution' stayed more than a certain time in power, it would lose its dynamics and transform into a 'regime,' which was not in his intentions. He tried to implicate Markezinis in the attempt; however, he met the stiff resistance of the hard-liners. Another attempt was again frustrated in the end of 1969 and the beginning of 1970; Papadopoulos was then disappointed and complaining 'I am being subverted by my fellow Evelpides cadets!' As a result of this second failure, he considered resigning in the summer of 1970, complaining that he lacked any support from other leading figures, his own closest followers included. But the rest of the faction leaders renewed their trust to him quote 6: Ioannidis said to Pattakos 'we are not playing. We shall have a dictatorship, send all our opponents to exile on the islands and stay in power for thirty years!' quote 7 Conspiracies were already brewing by the time Markezinis was sworn in. quote 8 The 'Markezinis experiment' started among a climate of suspicion and distrust for Papadopoulos' intentions, reflecting the six-year isolation of the regime from the people; the soft-liners failed to gain any credibility with their attitudes in the civil society; quote 9 The date for the coup was set roughly around the 25th to 30th of November well before the Polytechnic events, and did not change because of them quote 10 ... democracy returned eight months later at the cost of thousands of dead and hundreds of thousands of homeless in Cyprus-developments which traumatised the Greek body politic for generations to come,.... </li> <li id="cite_note-Juggler-3">^ <a href="#cite_ref-Juggler_3-0">a</a> <a href="#cite_ref-Juggler_3-1">b</a> <a href="#cite_ref-Juggler_3-2">c</a> <a href="#cite_ref-Juggler_3-3">d</a> <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20081214080353/http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,910799,00.html">The Smiling Juggler</a> Time Magazine archives quote: "At the same time, Papadopoulos requested the resignation of the 13 military men in his Cabinet and asked Markezinis to form a new civilian Cabinet to be sworn in this week." and "Two months ago, he ended martial law, declared an amnesty for <a href="/wiki/Political_prisoner" title="Political prisoner">political prisoners</a> and announced that parliamentary elections would be held in 1974.

Spyros Markezinis smiles as he takes the prime minister's position ... to the left of Archbishop Hieronymos ... after the swearing-in ceremony for his 39-member government, appointed by the then ruling military junta in a short-lived attempt to 'liberalise' its dictatorial regime through a tightly controlled transition to civilian rule. Hieronymos is flanked to his right by junta strongman, colonel George Papadopoulos as 'president of the republic', with his army colleague, general Odysseas Angelis, standing next to him as 'vice-president'. Under a new constitution passed by referendum on July 29, Papadopoulos lifted martial law, released all political prisoners and scrapped the military 'revolutionary council' which had governed Greece since the April 1967 coup d'etat, to woo old-guard politicians into endorsing his blueprint for 'liberalisation'. The leaders of outlawed political parties snubbed Papadopoulos's overtures because the new constitution allowed him to retain most of his dictatorial powers for another full seven-year term of his unelected 'presidency'. Markezinis was the only noteworthy veteran of the pre-1967 political establishment to accept the mandate of a caretaker premier ahead of parliamentary elections planned for late 1974. On November 25 he was unceremoniously toppled together with Papadopoulos by disaffected hardliners of the military regime under the shadowy leadership of brigadier Dimitris Ioannidis, head of the dreaded military police (ESA).

With the economy seriously disrupted by the call-up of nearly all able-bodied men and the Cyprus crisis demanding immediate action, the junta no longer felt capable of providing the necessary leadership. It concluded that Greece needed leaders who were trusted abroad and had a clear mandate; only then could Athens hope to negotiate successfully at the Geneva talks on Cyprus and extricate itself honorably from the tense confrontation of Greek and Turkish troops on their common border in Thrace. Gizikis explained that only a civilian coalition of national unity could extricate Greece from its difficulties. The four officers nodded their assent and pledged that the armed forces would "return to the barracks" and stay out of politics. The six-hour discussion in Gizikis's spacious office in the Parliament building was dominated from the start by the name of Caramanlis. It was apparent to everyone in the room that only he could provide Greece with the leadership it needed. In the public's mind, the years 1955–63, when Caramanlis was Premier, were the country's last prolonged period of prosperity and stability. During his self-imposed exile after falling out with King Paul (see box), he had condemned the mistakes and excesses of the successive regimes. When Caramanlis learned of the Cyprus crisis, he openly attacked Athens' role." and "Caramanlis called the crisis "a national tragedy" and appealed to Greece's armed forces to bring about a "political change" in a liberal and democratic direction." and "A telephone call last Tuesday to the Paris apartment of former Greek Premier Constantino Caramanlis signaled a historic turning point for Greece. It was from Greek President Phaedon Gizikis in Athens, begging Caramanlis, 67, to end eleven years of exile and "return home as soon as possible." A second call came from French President Valery Giscard d'Estaing, placing a French Mystere 20 jet at his disposal, since commercial service to the troubled country had been halted. Within hours the Greek elder statesman was airborne, on his way to Athens. By the time he landed, to a tumultuous welcome from his countrymen, he had been named Greece's new Premier, and a new hope for democracy had appeared in Greece." and "Although there had been no announcement that Caramanlis was on his way home, the news spread swiftly, and crowds soon began chanting: "He's coming! He's coming!" Tens of thousands of Greeks drifted toward Athens international airport to await his arrival." and "The transitory stage between dictatorship and full restoration of democracy is always critical." and "They finally reacted last November when a group of officers led by Brigadier General Dimitrios Ioannides, commander of the E.S.A., toppled Papadopoulos, installed Gizikis as President, and reintroduced some of the harshest repressive measures Greece had ever known."

International Research Group on the Comparative Charting of Social Change in Advanced Industrial Societies quote: "Dictatorship was imposed at a historical moment when Greek society was trying to escape from the post civil war structure. The 60s are characterised by a process of social change (in 1960, the relationship between rural and urban population becomes for the first time 1:1 thus opening the way to the fast urbanization of the population). The 60s are also characterised by the acceptance of the end of civil conflict and in connection of these two, by the demand of democratising the political system and widening the participation in political, economic and social processes. Economic development, the widening of the market etc. lead to the contradiction between, on one hand the social acceptance of market economy and social integration and on the other hand the preservation of a political system which is based on the rationale of civil conflict and the consequence of military victory. The Greek society of the 60s had overcome the conditions, which distinguished the 40s and 50s, and demands the smoothing of exercising power. It demands the reform of the legalization and functioning terms of the system. Maybe the elections of February 1964 are the most complete expression of this popular will. With the imposition of dictatorship, Greek society essentially loses contact with the apparently decisive developments in the western democratic world,...Greece finds itself abruptly excluded from this process." pp. 11–12 <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><a href="/wiki/ISBN_(identifier)" class="mw-redirect" title="ISBN (identifier)">ISBN</a> <a href="/wiki/Special:BookSources/0-7735-0887-2" title="Special:BookSources/0-7735-0887-2">0-7735-0887-2</a> </li> <li id="cite_note-Rise_and_decline_of_Democracy-17">^ <a href="#cite_ref-Rise_and_decline_of_Democracy_17-0">a</a> <a href="#cite_ref-Rise_and_decline_of_Democracy_17-1">b</a> <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://users.hol.gr/~ergatiki/ep/7_2004/Metapolitefsi.htm">ΑΝΟΔΟΣ ΚΑΙ ΠΑΡΑΚΜΗ ΤΗΣ ΕΛΛΗΝΙΚΗΣ ΑΣΤΙΚΗΣ ΔΗΜΟΚΡΑΤΙΑΣ</a> <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20050908132253/http://users.hol.gr/~ergatiki/ep/7_2004/Metapolitefsi.htm">Archived</a> 8 September 2005 at the <a href="/wiki/Wayback_Machine" title="Wayback Machine">Wayback Machine</a> (Rise and decline of Democracy: online article) </li> <li id="cite_note-Thirty_years_ago-18"><a href="#cite_ref-Thirty_years_ago_18-0">^</a> <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20070927075912/http://www.athensnews.gr/athweb/nathens.print_unique?e=C&f=13073&m=A06&aa=1&eidos=A">"Thirty years ago ..."</a>, Athens News, 2 July 2004 quote 1: On the night of July 23, 1974, a military dictatorship that had ruled the country with its iron fist for more than seven years, collapsed, paving the way for the bloodless restoration of democracy in its birthplace.

Early in the morning of July 24, general Faedon Gizikis, the figurehead 'president' of the then ruling junta faction headed by reclusive military police chief, brigadier-general Dimitris Ioannides, invited former politicians of the pre-junta era for consultations on the army's intention to hand over power to a civilian government comprising top cadres from the traditional centre and right. The news of the handover plans sparked nationwide enthusiasm as the military rulers had set the country on a war footing in the wake of a full-scale Turkish invasion of Cyprus on July 20, ostensibly provoked by a pro-junta coup in Nicosia which toppled the island-republic's president, Archbishop Makarios. Battles were still raging in the island's north when Greeks took to the streets in all the major cities, celebrating the junta's decision to step down before the war in Cyprus could spill over across the Aegean. But talks in Athens were going nowhere with Gizikis's offer of the mandate to form a government to Panayiotis Kanellopoulos, the last civilian prime minister before the April 1967 army coup. That is when Evangelos Averoff, a close aide of Karamanlis, suggested that only the former rightwing leader could take charge of the domestic situation and negotiate a ceasefire in Cyprus. Averoff knew that Karamanlis was already on his way, and cheering Athenian crowds chanted 'Here he comes!'

Η μετάβαση στη δημοκρατία έγινε με τρόπο υποδειγματικό από τον Ελληνα Μακεδόνα ηγέτη. Οι δύο μεγάλοι διχασμοί του 20ού αιώνα γεφυρώθηκαν με τη νομιμοποίηση των κομμουνιστικών κομμάτων και με το δημοψήφισμα για το πολιτειακό που καθιέρωσε το σύστημα της προεδρευόμενης δημοκρατίας. Οι δίκες των πρωταιτίων της χούντας με αυστηρότατες ποινές (ισόβια δεσμά) πέρασαν το μήνυμα στις ένοπλες δυνάμεις ότι η περίοδος της ατιμωρησίας των αντισυνταγματικών παρεμβάσεων του στρατού στην πολιτική είχε περάσει ανεπιστρεπτί. Και χωρίς αμφιβολία, το μεγαλύτερο επίτευγμα του Καραμανλή ήταν η ένταξη της Ελλάδας στην Ευρωπαϊκή Κοινότητα (σήμερα Ευρωπαϊκή Ενωση) την 1η Ιανουαρίου του 1981. Ισως περισσότερο από οποιαδήποτε άλλη εξέλιξη η ένταξη της Ελλάδας στην Ευρώπη άλλαξε τη μορφή και την ποιότητα της ελληνοαμερικανικής δυαδικής σχέσης. Η πατερναλιστική κατατομή προστάτη – προτατευόμενου θα περνούσε έκτοτε μέσα από ένα διαρθρωτικό φίλτρο με το όνομα «Βρυξέλλες»." <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.kathimerini.gr/707697/opinion/epikairothta/arxeio-monimes-sthles/ellhnoamerikanikes-sxeseis-1974-1999">Alternate link from Kathimerini</a> <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150122081654/http://www.kathimerini.gr/707697/opinion/epikairothta/arxeio-monimes-sthles/ellhnoamerikanikes-sxeseis-1974-1999">Archived</a> 22 January 2015 at the <a href="/wiki/Wayback_Machine" title="Wayback Machine">Wayback Machine</a> </li> <li id="cite_note-65"><a href="#cite_ref-65">^</a> <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/312125/Konstantinos-Karamanlis">Britannica</a> <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20080521054942/https://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/312125/Konstantinos-Karamanlis">Archived</a> 21 May 2008 at the <a href="/wiki/Wayback_Machine" title="Wayback Machine">Wayback Machine</a> Konstantinos Karamanlis: Greek statesman who was prime minister from 1955 to 1963 and again from 1974 to 1980.
