"If we could have peace for 16 days, maybe, just maybe, we can have it forever," Greek Foreign Minister George Papandreou said, addressing the 58th session of the UN General Assembly on 26 September, when he submitted the truce proposal on behalf of his country.
"Kada bismo 16 dana imali mir, možda bismo ga imali zauvek," rekao je šef grčke diplomatije Jorgos Papandreu u obraćanju pedeset i osmoj Generalnoj skupštini UN 26. septembra, na kojoj je, u ime svoje zemlje, podneo predlog olimpijskog primirja.
