Whakakiia te rerenga e whai ake nei: I muri i nga kaupapa o te whakaoho a nga akonga o te 17 o Noema i te Whare Wananga Hangarau o Athens (tirohia
Athens Polytechnic uprising), i whakahekea te ture i te 25 o Noema 1973 e nga waahanga pakeke i roto i te Army. Ko te riri mo te whakawhirinaki nui o Papadopoulos ki te ope taua ki te patu i te whakaoho a nga akonga i hoatu ki a Brigadier Dimitrios Ioannidis he take hei peia ia me te whakakapi ia ia hei tangata kaha hou o te kawanatanga. I herea a Papadopoulos ki tana whare, i te wa i hoki mai ai a Kariki ki tetahi kawanatanga hoia "orthodox".
