Whcn the problem is examined, it will be seen that every ten years [the country] has entered a cul de sac in its foreign payments, an economic crisis has begun in the wake of this and that a military adminisiralion has followed the subsequent social and political unrest... [IIowever] the developments which have occurred in the last four years, during the period of the Motherland Party administration, are full of signs indicating that this vicious circle has been broken}
