About Georgios Athanasiadis-Novas
Georgios Athanasiadis–Novas (Greek: Γεώργιος Αθανασιάδης-Νόβας; 9 February 1893 – 10 August 1987) was a Greek poet, lawyer and politician who briefly served as Prime Minister in 1965. == Biography == George Athanasiadis-Novas, also known by his literary name Athanas, was born in Nafpaktos in 1894 and died in the same city in 1987. The origin of the Nova family is from Vista in Zagori, Epirus. In 1829, immediately after the liberation of Nafpaktos from the Turks, his great-grandfather Panagiotis, with his two brothers Alexis and Christodoulos, settled in the city because it was fortified and relatively safe. His mother, Evdokia, was the twelfth child of the parliament member Nikolaos G. Sismanis from Arachova Nafpaktia and the sole survivor of the Sismanis family from the murderous rampage of Ali Pasha. He obtained his law degree from the University of Athens. He was first elected to the Greek Parliament in 1926, representing his native prefecture of Aetolia-Acarnania, and was repeatedly elected to office until 1964. A lawyer by trade, he served as Minister for the Interior in 1945, Minister for Education in 1950, and Minister for Industry in 1951. In 1961, however, he was one of many conservatives who joined the Center Union (EK) in opposition to the corruption of right-wing governments at the time. In 1964, after EK came into power, he became Speaker of the Greek Parliament.
