Evangelia Aravani : Happy with Ilias Vrettos!

Αν και δεν γνωριζόμασταν προσωπικά, ομολογώ πως η συμπάθεια για την Ευαγγελία Αραβανή έρχεται σχεδόν ως φυσικό επακόλουθο. Αυτό που ίσως κάποιοι «διαβάζουν», ως απόμακρη πλευρά στην παρουσία της, είναι η σεμνότητα και οι χαμηλοί τόνοι που θέλει να κρατάει, παρά τη λάμψη που εκπέμπει. Μια νέα εκπομπή ενισχύει το χαμόγελό της αυτήν τη στιγμή, ενώ η παρουσία του Ηλία Βρεττού στη ζωή της συμβάλλει στο να νιώθει ολοκληρωμένη και ως γυναίκα.

You, στον «Όμορφο κόσμο», δίπλα στον Γρηγόρη Αρναούτογλου, πώς βρεθήκατε;
Με κάλεσε τότε η Έλενα Κατραβά και μου είπε ότι λόγω της εγκυμοσύνης της, η Σίσσυ Χρηστίδου θα αποχωρούσε και θα έκαναν μια ανανέωση της ομάδας. Δεν ξέρω ποιος πέταξε το όνομά μου ως ιδέα, αλλά δεν έκανα κάποιο δοκιμαστικό. Παρασκευή με είδανε και Δευτέρα μου είπανε ότι ξεκινάω. Είχα μείνει και εγώ άναυδη, αλλά έτσι έγιναν τα πράγματα.

Και σε σχέση με το «Μες στην καλή χαρά» νιώθετε πικρία μετά τη διακοπή της συνεργασίας σας;
Πικρία όχι. Στην αρχή στενοχωρήθηκα γιατί την ήθελα πολύ αυτήν τη συνεργασία. Παρακολουθούσα την εκπομπή, πίστευα ότι θα ταίριαζα με αυτή την παρέα, μου άρεσε το πέρασμά μου από εκεί, παρά τον δεύτερο ή τρίτο ρόλο που θα είχα στην εκπομπή. Πήγα με χαρά στο «Μες στην καλή χαρά», αλλά μέσα σε λίγο καιρό από την πρεμιέρα διακόπηκε η συνεργασία. Τώρα πλέον όμως που εξέτασα τα πράγματα πιο καθαρά, διαπιστώνω ότι δεν πρέπει να στενοχωριέμαι. Σκέφτηκα πως όλα γίνονται για κάποιο λόγο και μπορεί να έρθουν καλύτερα πράγματα. Και ήρθαν τελικά.

Εννοείτε την εκπομπή σας στο MTV;
Exactly. Για τα δεδομένα του MTV που δίνει έμφαση στην ξένη μουσική, ήταν πολύ ενδιαφέρουσα η δημιουργία του «Greeklips» που ασχολείται με την ελληνική μουσική, χωρίς μάλιστα να διστάζει να παίξει και λαϊκά. Όταν με κάλεσαν για να συζητήσουμε, τους είπα «βρήκατε τον κατάλληλο άνθρωπο», γιατί ακούω πολύ ελληνική μουσική. Γελάσαμε πολύ και έτσι ξεκινήσαμε. On the show (daily 18:10-19:00) προβάλλονται βίντεο κλιπ με πληροφορίες τις οποίες κάθε φορά αναζητάμε από τους σκηνοθέτες ή από τους ίδιους τους τραγουδιστές. Μπορεί να αναφερθούμε ακόμη και σε ευτράπελα που συνέβησαν στο γύρισμα.

Για να σας κερδίσει ένας άνθρωπος στην προσωπική σας ζωή, ποια στοιχεία πρέπει να διαθέτει;
Μου αρέσουν οι «καθαροί» και «γνήσιοι» άνθρωποι. Δεν μπορώ την υποκρισία ή το να βρίσκεται κάποιος δίπλα σου για να τύχει προβολής ή να κερδίσει λίγη δημοσιότητα.

Σας έχει συμβεί κάτι ανάλογο;
Yes, έχω βιώσει κάτι τέτοιο, αλλά το έμαθα αφότου είχε τελειώσει η σχέση. Άργησα να το αντιληφθώ.   Μπορεί να μην είχε ξεκινήσει έτσι η σχέση, αλλά στην πορεία αποδείχτηκε πως κάτι τέτοιο ήθελε εκείνος. Δεν ξέρω αν τελικά είναι καλό ή κακό, αλλά εγώ βλέπω πάντα τα πράγματα καλοπροαίρετα. Έτσι λοιπόν τα έβλεπα και σε εκείνη τη σχέση.

Σε σχέση με τα media, με ποιο τρόπο προστατεύετε τη ζωή σας; Πρόσφατα δημοσιεύματα σας θέλουν σε σχέση με τον Ηλία Βρεττό.
Ποτέ δεν μου άρεσε να προκαλώ ή να προβάλω την προσωπική μου ζωή. Ξέρω ότι είναι φυσιολογικό να υπάρχει ενδιαφέρον για τους ανθρώπους που βρίσκονται σε προβεβλημένες δουλειές και οι δημοσιογράφοι θέλουν να κάνουν τη δουλειά τους. Πολλές φορές έτυχε να βγει κάτι προς τα έξω, αλλά ούτε διέψευσα ούτε επιβεβαίωσα. Αν με συναντήσει κάποιος φωτογράφος έξω, με συνάντησε. Δεν είναι στο χέρι μου να ελέγχω τα πάντα.

Δεν είναι καλύτερο να αποδεχτείτε μια σχέση σας, για να νιώθετε πιο άνετα;
Σε αυτό έχετε εν μέρει δίκιο, γιατί με έχουν συνδέσει με πρόσωπα που ούτε καν γνωρίζω. Δεν είναι ότι δεν θέλω να παραδεχτώ κάτι που υπάρχει στη ζωή μου, απλώς δεν μου αρέσει να μιλάω για τα προσωπικά μου. Είμαι και κάπως προληπτική, ξέρετε. Φοβάμαι το κακό μάτι.

Και γιατί θα ήταν κακό να μιλήσετε για τον Ηλία Βρεττό;
Δεν ξέρω αν είναι καλό ή κακό, αλλά δεν είμαι ο άνθρωπος που θα μιλήσει για την προσωπική του σχέση.

Κατανοητό! Και αν σας ρωτούσα πώς νιώθετε αυτή την περίοδο στην προσωπική σας ζωή, τι θα μου απαντούσατε;
Θα σας έλεγα ότι ζω μια πολύ ευτυχισμένη περίοδο και νιώθω ολοκληρωμένη ως άνθρωπος.

Cyprus: Stolen heirlooms are returned from the occupied

With a very important decision of the Munich Court of Appeal

A big win, unfortunately only in a cultural context did Cyprus after the decision of the Munich Court of Appeal return them to the Church of Cyprus 173 ecclesiastical relics, such as pictures, mosaics, murals etc. a. which had been collected from temples and monasteries in the occupied territories, by the Turkish antiquarian Aydin Dickmen.
 
This is a case that has been pending for fifteen years as Dickman had managed to convince - partially of course - that the heirlooms belonged to him through legal tricks (!), so he demanded in return 6 million. euro. Decisive though, was the opinion of the German professor of Byzantine studies Mr. Johannes Dekker, who proved that the relics are works of Cypriot hagiographers.
 
Note however, that all the works seized from the hands of the Turkish antiquarian were 232 but the 60 they will still remain in Germany, as most are antiquities, for which Mr. Decker cannot comment.
Dikmen's greatest looting took place in the frescoes of the church of Agios Euphemianos in Lysi, which were bought by the Menil foundation in Texas but last year it was possible to return them to Cyprus as well as the 6th century wall mosaics from the church of Panagia Kanakaria in Lythrangomi.
 
Among the works that will be returned, however, are pieces of mosaics from Panagia Kanakaria, fragments of frescoes from Panagia Absinthiotissa in Synghari, like the head of St. Ignatius, heartbreaks too, frescoes from the church of Panagia Pergameniotissa in Akanthou, dating back to the 12th century, frescoes from the 9th century church of Agia Solomoni and from the church of Antiphonitis (approx. 1200 and the end of the 15th c.) as well as a large number of pictures and old manuscripts.
 
"These are works that come from about fifty different looted temples in Turkish-occupied Cyprus, which have been fully identified, while unfortunately a large part of them has not been fully identified due to incomplete files", reported by the Delegation of the Church of Cyprus to the European Union.
Moreover, with the same decision of the Court of Appeal, Dickmen must return to the Church of Cyprus approx 90 thousands of euros, which had been seized along with the heirlooms in his apartment in Munich by the Bavarian Police in 1997.

BBC 'sells out' Lonely Planet travel guides

American NC2 Media will acquire the drivers for 51,5 million pounds from BBC Worldwide, whom he had bought the 2011 130,2 million pounds.

The British BBC has decided to sell the Lonely Planet travel guides to an American group, and at a much lower price—reduced by almost 80 million pounds— from the one he had bought the publishing company from.
American NC2 Media will acquire the drivers for 51,5 million pounds from BBC Worldwide, the commercial arm of British public television. The acquisition of Lonely Planet by the BBC was done in two phases, the 2007 and 2011 and had cost in total 130,2 million pounds.
The BBC Trust, the BBC's watchdog, said that this buying and selling should become a lesson for the "significant financial losses" it caused.
BBC Worldwide's purchase of Lonely Planet was criticized at the time as falling short of the core aims of public broadcasting. Until then BBC Worldwide was limited to exploiting domestic television producers.
The Lonely Planet Company, which is headquartered in Melbourne, Australia, concerns 400 workers. It also has offices in London, California and New Delhi. The company's financial performance has deteriorated in recent years due to the appreciation of the Australian dollar, of the reorganizations in the publishing area and the global recession that affected tourism, notes the BBC in its announcement.
“The BBC will not make such acquisitions in the future.", BBC Trust vice-chairman Diane Coyle assured, stressing that Lonely Planet did not turn out to be a good investment.

Eugenia Manolidou: He filed a lawsuit against Kostas Vaxevanis

A lawsuit was filed by Eugenia Manolidou against Kostas Vaxevanis, accusing him of implicating her in the Lagarde list case because of the political dispute she has with her husband, Adonis Georgiadis.

The conductor and presenter also took legal action, after the warning she had made through her personal twitter account. He made the lawsuit public, on Wednesday afternoon, the show "Speak" by Tatiana Stefanidou.

In her lawsuit, Eugenia Manolidou reports: “The defendant, Well, in his attempt to clash politically with my husband, Adonis Georgiadis, chooses by lying to implicate me as a member of the Lagarde list […] The reality known to the defendant is that the customer was my then husband, the painter Manolidis, with whom I was estranged from 2003, has been issued a divorce since the year 2009, after fierce litigation, which had even culminated in 2005, known in the media, therefore with the defendant's knowledge, who does journalistic reporting and was therefore well aware that I never had or could have anything to do with this particular account. The defendant knows that I have already divorced and remarried to Adonis Georgiadis and chooses as the title of the article "golden client the Manolidou family" by putting a photo of me with my husband, Adonis, which we have nothing to do with this particular account, as the defendant is well aware".

In fact, elsewhere in the document, Eugenia Manolidou emphasizes: "This particular article shocks me, as on the one hand in its title it presents me as a gold client of the Lagarde list, while knowing, having the tabs, that I am a mere representative of the client, while also in the text of the article it states that possibly I, as a representative, visited the bank on 7 June 2005, while the bank's history explicitly mentions that the visit was made by the customer and not the agent. The defendant, Well, is trying to engage me with the content of that particular account, knowing with the document he holds, that I have no relation, I am not a customer, but agent, without the possibility of intervention or even simple knowledge of the account. Any "involvement" of mine is that my then-husband had declared me as his agent".

Remember how Adonis Georgiadis had reacted when he was informed for the first time about this accusation against his wife.
