EDITORIAL
Calmer waters
 Foreign Minister Petros Molyviatis's meeting with his Turkish counterpart Abdullah Gul on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly has confirmed that bilateral relations have truly entered calmer waters. For the third year in a row, the air and sea exercises «Nikiforos,» «Toxotis,» «Barbaros» and «Toros» in the eastern Aegean have been canceled (with the agreement of Cypriot President Tassos Papadopoulos).
COMMENTARY
From bad to worse
 Judging by the promotions and transfers of TV «personalities» being publicized ahead of the new television season, one can only draw a single conclusion: that the ratings war will have an even lower common denominator than before. The major channels appear to be adopting the «successful» formulas based on gossip and cheap thrills. The channels' desperate struggle is being waged for the largest share of the ratings that do not amount to even one tenth of the total number of television channels operating in the country.
