[1991 was an important year with the events in Albania and the
massive inflow of immigrants that followed. We also had the Gulf war,
the overthrowing of Gorbachev and Perestroika, the trial of Greek banker
Koskotas, rearrangements at the Greek Communist Party. All of the above
happened during the administration of K. Mitsotakis. As it is
understood, these sketches are particularly important due to the
significant events of that period].
