The Grand Collar of the Order of Makarios III is an honor given by South  Cyprus and is the lowest of the six levels in the Order. Further information  shared by Ajans Kibris is that Skouris visited Greek Cypriot President Dimitris  Christofias and other high executives in the South during his visit in February  2009 just 3 months before the Orams verdict was announced.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Honor just  after Orams case<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Skouris was awarded the Order by then Greek Cypriot President Tassos  Papadopoulos at the Greek Cypriot Presidential Palace a year after the Orams  were taken to court in the South in 2005. The case was sent to the ECJ at the  end of 2007 by the English High Court supported by the Greek Cypriot side with  the approval of the Turkish side.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Papadopoulos  thanked<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>During the ceremony held to award the honor to Skouris, the then Greek Cypriot  President Papadopoulos was noted to have &#8220;Thanked Skouris for his support to  Cyprus&#8221; Skouris thanked Papadopoulos for the honor and said that receiving the  Order was an honor both for him personally and the Court of Justice of the  European Communities. Vassilios Skouris has been the President of the ECJ since  7 October 2003 and he was re-elected for another term through 9 October 2006-6  October 2009.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Verdict not judicial but  political<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>One  of the Turkish Cypriot Senior Executive Officers commented on the issue and said  that the honor conferred on Vassilios Skouris proved that ECJ&#8217;s verdict was not  judicial but was political. The Executive Officer emphasized that Turkish  Cypriot should raise their voices against this verdict and he said: &#8220;If the  public take to the streets, the verdict won&#8217;t be effective.&#8221; &#8216;Orams verdict  Reaction Platform&#8217; was founded in the TRNC as a reaction against the Orams  verdict and members of the platform protested the verdict in front of Northern  Cyprus representative offices of Britain and the EU.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>turkish forums note: Makarios is a gradute of Heybeliada Ruhban Okulu, Same as many greek-pontos terrorist groups lieders as in the ISTIKLAL Savasi (War Of Independence) .
