The original signing clause identifies German, Greek and English as authentic. Only German and English are supplied; the authentic Greek version is NOT included. The clause gives English precedence in divergent interpretation of the German and Greek texts. Unreviewed coordinate-based machine transcription of this original source edition only. Printed line breaks, hyphens and uncertain token spacing are retained, not silently corrected. Treaty preamble, closing formula, protocol and shared signatures are separate retained assets, not part of the last article. Full supplements: /review/de-cyprus-2011-base/.
