The book is written by a former diplomat of the Government
of Cyprus, former Senior Political Affairs Officer of the
United Nations and former Professor of the University of
Cyprus in the Department of Social & Political Science and
the Turkish Studies Department. It contains his memoirs,
experiences and observations relating essentially to the
Cyprus problem. When the Greek version came out in mid-2000, it was presented to the public both in
Cyprus and in
Athens. Moreover, the book refers to very many letters
written to him by Dr. Ihsam Ali, a Turkish Cypriot, who, for
many years, was the Political Adviser of President Makarios.
"This is an objective, balanced and much-needed book
written in the language of truth. It is more than a personal,
informative and courageous narrative; it provides interesting
insights into the politics and society of Cyprus. In doing so, it
also reflects the agony and vision of a man who has dedicated
his life to the unity of Cyprus." (Prof. Joseph S. Joseph,
University of Cyprus)
"The book is important because people need to hear open-minded persons with vision ... it gives hope and is written by
a person who very much loves his country." (G. Papandreou,
Foreign Minister of Greece)
