Cyprus president condemns far right gains in Greece

Reuters:
Cyprus's communist president on Wednesday sharply criticized Greece's ultra-nationalist Golden Dawn party, calling its election gains a pillaging of modern Greek history.
Cyprus, Greece's closest ally, usually avoids involvement in Greek domestic politics but inroads made by the nationalists touched a raw nerve on the island, ethnically split between the Turkish north and Greek south for almost four decades.
Golden Dawn, which won seven percent of votes in Sunday's inconclusive election, is the first far-right party to enter parliament since the fall of the Greek military dictatorship in 1974. That dictatorship instigated a coup in Cyprus which triggered Turkey's invasion.

Well, there's one thing we have to be grateful to the Golden Dawn: it awoken up the Greekishness in Christofias!
