One of the former Greek Foreign Ministers Teodoros Pangalos speaking at a presentation ceremony of the book entitled "The Annan Plan: Secret Bargaining", which was written by two Greek Cypriot and one Greek journalists, said ‘the Greek Cypriots by voting "no" to the Annan plan demonstrated that they did not want to live together with the Turkish Cypriots.’

Pangalos stated that the real aim of the Greek Cypriots was different from what they say and that many of the Greek Cypriot citizens which he had spoken to said that their real aim was not an independent state but Enosis (Cyprus’ annexation to Greece).
