George Tenet: CIA played role in IMIA
The Greek - Turkish incident, about Imia conflict
Effectively is says that the CIA played an instrumental role in stopping the War over Imia.
":n January 30, Prime Minister Simitis was handed, but “seemed
uninterested” in, a personal letter from CIA Director George Tenet. It
had been passed on to NIS Director Leonidas Vasikiopoulos from the
Athens CIA station chief. The letter stated Tenet’s view that “it would
be disastrous for Greece, Turkey and NATO if war broke out due to
escalation of the [Imia] incident”
