THE PERSON.
THE PERSON.
THE DIPLOMAT WITH SOUL OF THE ARTIST.
Lyudmila GONCHAROV.
The consul general of Greece in Novorossisk Butos Periklis, judging
On everything, the person of strict usages. Though, as he considers,
The discipline is, more likely, inwardness. Outwardly strict
The person can be and zero in business. And on the contrary,
"Art" nature far from pedantry appears
Purposeful also achieves success.
Mister Periklis likes an order, but it not a cracker.
Takes a great interest in music, painting and even publishes own books.
Its author's picture album devoted to the Venetian carnivals,
Gives out the temperament carefully hidden at heart
The irreproachable career diplomat. Probably,
The susceptibility of the artist will allow it to feel better
The country in which it has appeared only several months ago.
Mind, as is known, Russia not to understand...
Our interview to the consul general has begun with the natural
Question: and what in general consulate mission?
- As well as all consulates, Greek is engaged in development
Political, economic relations, and also sports and
Tourist communications, issue of visas. In sphere of our activity
Enters seven regions of the South of Russia - Krasnodar territory, Rostov
Area, Stavropol Territory, Kabardino-Balkariya,
Karachaevo-Circassia, Adygea, Ossetia. Certainly, we develop communications with
Local Greek diaspora. The Greek population in Novorossisk,
On Kuban - the carrier of the Greek culture enriching spiritual
Life of your country. In these edges izdavno lives much
The Greek families. They have the organisations - communities,
Are interested in strengthening of relations with the historical native land,
Cultural contact. The consulate helps these societies. That
Concerns economic relations, constant presence in
To port of courts under the Greek flag already in itself speaks about
Much. As far as possible the consulate aspires to strengthen
Business relations of our countries. - in what particularly it is expressed?
Greece has special interests in our region? - This question
Frequently ask. Most likely, for rosssijskoj the parties this
The question is very important. Greece understands value of the South of Russia in
Development of economic relations. Opening is with that end in view planned
The trade mission. It will be engaged in the analysis
Economic situation. It will be trading department of consulate.
The similar department exists in Moscow. Very important
To systematise an information stream that will allow to speak about more
Concrete projects. Though at federal level the defined
Arrangements and programs already are available.
- What it is possible to tell about prospects of a tourist direction?
- In Russia there is a great demand for tourist trips in
Greece, but not on the contrary. Greeks-tourists visit Moscow,
Petersburg... As to Black sea, Greece -
The Mediterranean country, and Greeks prefer to have a rest at itself
At home. To us development of trips is represented to the most perspective
Here, on the south of Russia of the Greeks supporting friendly, related
Communications with the compatriots. Clearly, that consulate
Influences these processes not administratively. We act in a role
Advisers, we serve as explorers of these relations. For example, Days
The Greek culture in edge were spent at our participation. - in
Antiquities on a place of Novorossisk the colony settled down ellinskaja
Bath, all Tamansky peninsula belonged to ellinskomu to the world -
One thousand years the Bosporsky kingdom feeding here has existed
Bread Elladu... Your predecessor Eftimios Parashos believed,
What is the historical past of our earth, its beauty and
A variety of landscapes are interesting just in the plan for development
Tourism from Greece. A problem - in backwardness tourist
Service at us. - yes, really. In particular, as to
The transport message: to get on the South of Russia, it is necessary
To fly by plane through Moscow. It is not enough here and good,
Comfortable hotels. There are no colourful booklets which gave
Representation about district, its sights and so
Further. - whether carries out consulate humanitarian missions?
- In itself - is not present. But it is a link with
The Greek humanitarian organisations, in process of possibilities
Helps the fellow citizens, representatives of Greek diaspora,
Appeared in a zone of local conflicts. Without the consent of the local
The authorities, it is wilful these questions, of course, do not dare. - it is possible
To ask to tell you about itself?
- I single, was not present children. 16 years worked in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Greece, to
Purposes to Novorossisk were the employee of embassy in Vienna and
The consul in Venice. - and what after arrival therefrom your the first
Impressions of our city? - It is better to do comparison not on
To geographical principle. It is possible to compare Moscow to Vienna is
The historical and cultural centres, and Novorossisk it would be better
To compare with any industrial city. Besides,
The local winter does not promote bright impressions. I wait, when
Weather will improve, and it will be possible to travel, is better to learn
This edge. As to all Russia it is known the for the
History, arts. Russian culture concedes nothing to another
To the countries. Moreover, it is so original, that, for example,
Music of Russian composer always can be distinguished. Recently
I was possible manage Tretjakovsky gallery and there I once again
Has felt this originality, this time in painting.
- To that do you devote a free time? Speak, be interested
History? - It is final, the history interests me, as well as everyone
The formed person, but to me are more curious music and
The fine arts. In particular, possibilities of the electronic
Creativity means. - icon Bozhiej of Mother in your office - a tribute
To art or she protects you? - It really the keeper.
Our general orthodox roots, the general spiritual basis help
To find common language and in secular areas. Than more deeply a subject
Discussions, mutual understanding appears to find that is easier.
