Who is the President of Greece?

Answer 1

Dr. Karolos Papoulias is the president of Greece. He is 81 and he likes sports. He became the 7th president of the 3rd Hellenic Republic on 2005 March 12 and was re-elected on 2010 February 3 for a second 5-year term. Formerly the Minster of Foreign Affairs from 1985 July 26 to 1989 July 2 and 1993 October 13 to 1996 January 2, Papoulias has created stronger relations with Greek and many of their neighbours, including Egypt, Turkey, Iran and Armenia.

The President of the Hellenic Republic (Greek: Πρόεδρος της Ελληνικής Δημοκρατίας), colloquially referred to in English as the President of Greece, is the elected head of state of Greece, elected by the parliament.

Before taking office, the President must recite an oath before Parliament:

"I swear in the name of the Holy, Consubstantial and Indivisible Trinity to safeguard the Constitution and the laws, to ensure their faithful observance, to defend the national independence and territorial integrity of the Country, to protect the rights and liberties of the Greeks and to serve the general interest and the progress of the Greek People."
