Greek former PM Mitsotakis dies: family

ATHENS, May 29, (APP/AFP) – Former Greek
Prime Minister Constantine Mitsotakis died Monday at the age of 99, his family said.
“He died at 0100 (2200 GMT) surrounded by the people whom he loved and
who loved him,” a family statement said.
Born in 1918, Mitsotakis had quit politics in 2004, stepping down as
Greece’s longest-serving parliamentarian.
The conservative politician was prime minister from 1990 to 1993 and
served without interruption as MP since 1946, except for a ten-year break during and immediately after Greece’s 1967-1974 military junta.
