I remember very well the day when my first publication circulated; it was a Friday, because the right wing political weekly Politika Themata (Political Matters) appeared on Fridays. The article's title (in English translation) was "A Permanent War: between Iraq and Iran"; it covered four pages (p. 25-28). It has to be reminded that the entire weekly did not exceed 70 pages, so it was a relatively lengthy text. The article was introduced to the readership by a special note written by the editor-in chief Kostas Kyrkos, who was brother of the famous Greek Euro-communist parliamentarian Leonidas Kyrkos; it was also featured in the Contents of the weekly where my personal picture was added next to the title.
