ILIOU-KHRUSHCHEV: Parliament yesterday debated a statement made in Budapest by Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev justifying the December 1944 communist uprising in Athens… Foreign Minister Evangelos Averoff rebuffed an attempt by Ilias Iliou of the United Democratic Left (EDA) to downplay the importance of Khrushchev’s statement.
