The real reason the UN plan was rejected

If Greek Cypriots had approved the UN plan to reunify their island, they would have been saddled with an abysmal national anthem chosen from hundreds of entries submitted last year. Not only is it filled with basic harmonization errors, such as parallel octaves and fifths; it also resembles the mediocre Soviet national anthem, recently readopted as the Russian anthem by President Vladimir "Stalin Lite" Putin. I guess that's what happens when political efforts to conciliate diversity peacefully are allowed to override sound aesthetic judgement.
